Did Humans Cook Fish 780,000 Years Ago?

Smoke, a lakeshore, and a fish beside controlled fire—could this be one of humanity’s earliest known cooked meals? Travel to Gesher Benot Ya’aqov in the Jordan Rift Valley, where 780,000-year-old fish remains, hearth evidence, and heat-altered pharyngeal teeth point to deliberate cooking. We separate what archaeologists can establish from what remains inference, then explore what this meal reveals about early technology, diet, and survival.
