Overview
In "Catching Fire," renowned primatologist Richard Wrangham argues that our evolutionary success is the result of cooking. Once our hominid ancestors began cooking, the human digestive tract shrank and the brain grew; and pair bonding, marriage, the household, and even the sexual division of labor emerged. A pathbreaking theory of human evolution, "Catching Fire" will fascinate anyone interested in our ancient origins--or our modern eating habits.
