- cheezintern, on 07/05/2008, -0/+15...and then some one decided to add some lettuce, a tomato, few pickles, ketchup and mustard, and stick it all between a bun. Things really took off from there.
- inactive, on 07/05/2008, -2/+14Oh really so they didnt cook inside the kitchen 700000 years ago?
- poidh, on 07/05/2008, -0/+11You get more energy from cooked meat, so cooking meat was an evolutionary advantage. Another advantage was of course that the cooking got rid of microbes, hence was healthier.
- schnikies79, on 07/05/2008, -1/+10How long till someone gets on digg and complains about something that hasn't even happened yet?
- Falldog, on 07/05/2008, -0/+8We only invented inside 600000 years ago.
- zkirill, on 07/05/2008, -1/+9Take that, vegetarians!
- jamesweston, on 07/05/2008, -4/+11Pics or it didn't happen
- muniak, on 07/05/2008, -0/+7Buried, it's 6000 years old.
- poidh, on 07/05/2008, -1/+8Lol. If only our ancestors had had access to burgers. They might have invented TVs and bowling alot sooner.
- SuperJimmyJimbo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5there's always money in the banana stand..
- STPZ, on 07/05/2008, -3/+7FIRE!
- DentThat, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4Of course its common knowledge but the fact that they put it that way makes it interesting to ponder about. How when we have outdoor barbecues, we are going back to our ancestral roots
- Skab, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4"Around 2.5 million years ago, meat became a big deal." Go on......

- applepro, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3Breathing: A 200,000,000-year-old Ritual
- Modulo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3it's so obviously a july 4th themed article that even a Canadian such as myself can notice.
- snookky, on 07/05/2008, -2/+5ha, stickin it to the vegans!
- TargetDog, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3I would gladly pay to see a video of Rachael Ray teaching the cavemen to make 30 minute meals 700,000 years ago.
- Zippo, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3MEAT! MEEEEAAAT!!
- RoflCoptah, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2quick, someone get that guy covered in BBQ sauce!
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -1/+3Buried, it's 18 years old. Didn't exist until I was born. :)
- spepin, on 07/05/2008, -2/+4I wonder if our ancestors got ripped and played guitars by fires, too?
- ScottoGato, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2This is why Rosie O'Donnell is endangered.
- moonmonkey, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2where do you live?
- MixMastaKooz, on 07/05/2008, -0/+2Actually: yes they did, sort of. Fermented fruit (tasted like crap, but some fruits will have a bit of alcohol content in them after sitting on the ground for extended periods of time) and some hollow logs that are great for hitting/beating are the basis for many primitive parties!
- novenator, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2burn it
- speel, on 07/05/2008, -0/+2not for ripping apart HUNKS of flesh.
- jwbales, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1The writer of this article missed the obvious fact that cooked meat lasts longer than raw meat. Cooking was an early form of food preservation. If it's jerked and dried over a smoky fire, meat will last quite a long time.
- onux16, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Don't tell that to my girlfriend. I've been using the excuse "Woman stays in the kitchen while man hunts; it's our primal instinct!"
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1The time is debated, I believe the time of the rise of ***** sapiens is between 250,000-400,000 BCE.
Could be wrong though. - Jersey2FL, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Umm, HELLO the world is only about 6,000 years-old.
Created by the christian god and five unicorns. - atact88, on 07/05/2008, -1/+2I was under the impression that human beings - i.e. ***** sapiens - evolved around 250,000 years ago. Yet the author talks about tools from 2.5 million years ago and fire 700,000 years ago. No doubt an ancestor to humans may have used those - but she still implies that humans did all those things 2.5 million years ago? Unless she just can't count zeros
- NecroSexy, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1The segway creator is a genius inventor?! WTF
- nutsackorama, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1I thought god created the earth just like 7000 years ago? What the hell?
- Falldog, on 07/05/2008, -3/+2I think that grilling is a more appropriate term to use here. Where I come from simply cooking meet over a fire is grilling, while barbecuing is a lot more involved.
- Walled, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1OMGWTFBBQ...never mind digg me down
- laguano, on 07/05/2008, -2/+0Dangit, its going to take a while for indoor bbq to get that far.
- DangerCollie, on 07/05/2008, -4/+2I live in the bbq capital of the world and can promise you there's no correlation between cooking meat over fire and brain size. If anything there's an inverse relationship.
- Darkaged, on 07/05/2008, -6/+3Buried as inaccurate, the Earth is only 4,000 years old.
- holmesfour, on 07/05/2008, -10/+5How is this news? We discussed this in my World History to 1500 course 4 years ago.
- peticsu, on 07/05/2008, -10/+4how long till some religious nut calls out yahoo or live-science for thinking the earth is not 6000 years old?
- fuckingusername, on 07/05/2008, -10/+2 you mean they had fire when they didn't have a lighter, OMG
Digg front page crap is getting lame, feel like I'm reading the National Enquirer - alapoet, on 07/03/2008, -11/+3Ugh! Pass meat!
