Only humans are the sole creatures on Earth that cook. The starting point of all cooking is the use of fire. Why do humans use fire?

Good digestion allows for greater energy extraction. Apes chew their food for 6 to 8 hours a day, but humans chew for less than an hour. As a result, the human intestines are only two-thirds shorter than those of apes. In contrast, the human brain is larger. The human brain is the most efficient organ for energy in the body.
