Catching Fire

Argues that it was cooking that caused the transformation of our ancestors from apelike beings to Homo erectus. This title focuses on the idea: the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labour.

Sustine ca gatitul a cauzat transformarea stramosilor nostri din fiinte asemanatoare maimutelor in Homo erectus. Acest titlu se concentreaza pe ideea: obiceiul de a manca alimente gatite, mai degraba decat crude, a permis tractului digestiv sa se micsoreze si creierul uman sa creasca, a ajutat la structurarea societatii umane si a creat diviziunea barbatilor-femei a muncii.
