Why humans cook food ?

Re: Why humans cook food ?
mine seems to be fine , some peoples are worse , but its not that we haven't evolved its maybe that our diet can be so wrong that it lowers our immune system,perhaps also vaccinating can lower immune response to other things. Plus alot of the crops we grow make pollen , this cultivated plant could be new , or has certainly altered alot over the last however long , so it could be causing more reaction to it .We haven't been able to grow an immune system to overcome grass pollen in millions of years and we get hay fever from grass!
as far as cooking not being evolutionary , well it came from using fire which is interaction with the world so not evolution as such but the brain to do it did evolve, there is alot of evidence of evolution perhaps not all is correct and there are missing bits to how we evolved exactly but i find it credible.
What do you think happened?
Re: Why humans cook food ?
That of course presupposes the evolution theory which Darwin did not believe himself.

Re: Why humans cook food ?
Humans invented cooking for a different reason I think. It allows to pack a huge amount of energy in a small package, basically. You might think it's not a natural way of doing things but we're far from ideal environment anyway and our energy expenditure is quite high.
In a nutshell - living in a city takes energy and we need to replenish that energy somehow. Cooked food, while generally bad for us, is the easiest way for us.

Re: Why humans cook food ?
yes, and if you listen to the bbc nature progs etc then we are separate from nature. We are indoctrinated to believe this.
There is nothing further from the truth. If you think about it a highrise building is just as natural as a termite mound.
Maybe your feeling this separation , if so you need to re think yourself back into nature.

Re: Why humans cook food ?
Cooked food is a means to an end, look back in history and they didn't have their local tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Marks and Sparks, Waitrose ans Asda to name a few.
They had to catch their food, kill it and butcher/prepare it and pick what local food was readily available and turn it into products they could use when the food was out of season, they had to preserve it, they had to stop other predators including other humans from stealing it and this often meant cooking meats from wild animals to remove a lot of the smell of blood which attracted other predetors.
Nomadic people turned to settlements and they found ground with an abundance of wild animals and fertile ground to grow and cultivate the wild crops for themselves and their animals and became settlers who caught wild animals and let them breed naturally and grew a variety of food crops for themselves and their animals. They worked out that keeping animals meant they didn't have to go out and hunt them, their meat was fresh by being alive, and they only slaughtered on demand and only had a little slaughtered meat stored. They figured out what crops they could successfully grow and how to seed them, they worked out what to grow, where to grow it, and when to plant it and gave themselves growing seasons to ensure they had stocks of meat and vegetables and fruit for as much of the year as possible so they could feed themselves and their tribe.
Tribes fought for power and land as more land meant more power and more capability to grow more food and graze more animals and have the capability to breed more working animals such as oxen for farm work and horses for transporting people and produce around
People had to manage their food and found that if they cooked poorer quality meat from an animal and boiled it for a long period it would become tender, similarly if they put the meat in on the bone they would cook the marrow out and produce stock, and if they added seasonal vegetables they could cook a stew in large quantities and use wild meats and birds for the meat content and simply add available vegetables and cook it all in a large or small container, over an open fire or simply embers, and cook a couple of days food for hundreds of people such as an army.
