Why Humans Started Cooking — And How Fire Built Your Brain

Tonight, you are going to do something no other animal on Earth does. You are going to take a raw ingredient, apply heat to it, and transform it into something entirely new. But the real reason you do that is far stranger — and far older — than any recipe. In this video, you will discover how a single accidental encounter with fire nearly two million years ago triggered the most important biological chain reaction in human history. You will find out why your brain exists in its current form, why your face looks the way it does, why your gut is smaller than a chimpanzee's, and why every culture on Earth — without exception — cooks its food. The answer connects ancient evolution to something you will do tonight at dinner.
