Cooked Meat

Cooked Meat

Humans and their ancestors have hunted, killed, and eaten meat for millions of years, but it probably wasn't until the past one million years that meat was cooked before it was consumed. Homo erectus, thought to be the immediate ancestor of Homo sapiens, was the first hominid known to have used fire and presumably became the first to throw their meat "on the barbie."
