Did Cooking Make Us Smart?

Lifestyle No Comments »

Thanks to Vlogbrothers for their sponsorship of this video

Did cooking make us evolve? Why is it that only humans cook. If you think about it we are the only animals on Earth that cook our food before eating it. Why do we cook? In this video we’re going to look at the book Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human by Richard Wrangham. He explains the biological and evolutionary benefits of cooking our food.

Why did we climb down from the trees and start gathering around the fire? Let’s find out

Catching fire: How Cooking Made Us Human with Richard Wrangham

Lifestyle No Comments »

Today’s guest argues that it was cooking that caused the extraordinary transformation of our ancestors from apelike beings to Homo erectus.

At the heart of this episode lies an explosive new idea: the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labour. As our ancestors adapted to using fire, humans emerged as “the cooking apes”.

Covering everything from food-labelling to sexual division of labour to raw-food faddists, Catching Fire offers a startlingly original argument about how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today.

A fundamental question that every culture answers in a different way, but only science can truly decide and one today’s guest deeply explore is What made us human?

Our guest’s work proposes a new answer. He is a true changemaker, driven by curiosity and believes the transformative moment that gave rise to the genus Homo, one of the great transitions in the history of life, stemmed from the control of fire and the advent of cooked meals.

Fire was our first technology. Cooking increased the value of our food. It changed our bodies, our brains, our use of time, and our social lives. It made us into consumers of external energy and thereby created an organism with a new relationship to nature, dependent on fuel.

Humans have evolved very differently from other primates. Is there one thing responsible for humans becoming human? Some evolutionary biologists think that the way we process our food, namely cooking it, could explain why our species developed so differently from others. Did cooking make us human? Dr. Richard Wrangham of Harvard University and Dr. Rachel Carmody of UCSF and Harvard discuss the impact that cooked food has had on human evolution.

This episode of Origin Stories was produced by Briana Breen and edited by Audrey Quinn. Music by Henry Nagle.

Thanks to Richard Wrangham and Rachel Carmody for sharing their work.

How it's Made: Sunflower Oil

Lifestyle No Comments »

Sunflower oil, derived from the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus), is a versatile and widely consumed vegetable oil known for its mild flavor, light texture, and high smoke point, making it suitable for various culinary applications. With its balanced composition of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, along with Vitamin E, sunflower oil is considered heart-healthy and beneficial for maintaining cholesterol levels. It is commonly used for cooking, frying, baking, and salad dressings, contributing not only to the palatability of dishes but also to their nutritional value. Additionally, sunflower oil’s neutral taste allows it to blend seamlessly with a diverse range of cuisines, making it a staple in households and food industries around the world.

If you automatically think cooking at home is cheaper than dining out, you could be going about it all wrong. Several new apps like Open Table are making it cheaper to go out to your favorite restaurants. They give customers discounts by making reservations during off-peak hours. Some restaurants are going so far as offer up to 40% off if you choose them over services like Grubhub or Uber Eats. #WakeUpCLT
