To add to the numerous hypothesis of the evolution of humans from our ancestral cousins, Richard Wrangham, a Harvard biological anthropology professor and fellow Kibale National Park researcher and director of Kibale Chimpanzee Project, has published a new book explaining discussing humans use of fire to cook food. Based on some of the reviews, it seems like a novel and interesting theory. Hopefully, it will not be another pop science book dumbed down for the general masses that actually is based on extensive biological research that is only referenced in detail with the bibliography list at the back.
Have a look at one of the reviews by the New York Times.
May be I will receive this for a Christmas present. hint hint
