MOCA Topic Authors:

Cooking of food occurs only among humans (with the exception of some captive apes that assist humans in cooking). The invention of cooking allowed humans to extract more nutrients from various foods, by making the foods more digestible, and by destruction of toxins, lectins or infectious agents. The invention of cooking may have also allowed humans to increase hunting activities and evolve larger brains by increasing the quality of their diets.
