About the book

Ever since Darwin and The Descent of Man, the existence of humans has been attributed to our intelligence and adaptability. But Catching Fire presents a groundbreaking new theory of origins: that cooking is the reason for our evolutionary success; shifting from raw to cooked foods was key in human evolution. More than language, emotional intelligence, or the opposable thumb, the mastery of fire created us.
