摘要
Humans are often curious about why and how early humans had given up raw food in diet?And which came into being first,cooking or fermentation?It was posited,based on the skull and jaw structure,that early hominids spent a lot of time eating food vis-a-vis Homo sapiens.Around 2 million years ago,a significant change occurred,and Homo species started spending less time chewing food,implying that they abandoned eating raw food and started utilizing fire as a tool[1].One possibility could be that they started eating cooked food because it was relatively tender and easy to digest.However,it would require a pot,an oven,or a pit to cook or live near volcanoes.If these were not available then,fermentation could be a robust possibility for this change as it tenders the food,develops fascinating flavor,and stymies putrefaction.
