MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK
The "Cooking Hypothesis" posits that humanity knew about fire much earlier than archaeological findings suggest. More so, it assumes that we owe our humanity solely to the art of cooking. This scientific perspective thus joins the growing body of research proving that our ancestors were not the club-wielding savages often depicted in traditional historiography. On the contrary, our ancestors were social and cooperative beings, lived in egalitarian societies, were healthier than us, and had to work significantly less. Hans-Peter Hufenus takes the reader on a journey through human history as it must be written based on new discoveries. Mythological stories, personal narratives, recipes for archaic cooking, and illustrations by Zdeněk Burian complement the text.
