The existence of progenitor food crops (edible plants) on Earth was a necessary starting point for the availability of our food. After all, out of the millions of species of creatures on Earth, humans stand out as the only one that prefers or needs to eat cooked foods. As Harvard biologist Richard Wrangham states,Human beings evolved to eat cooked food. Just saying that humans evolved to eat cooked foods lacks a plausible naturalistic mechanism. Bypassing this reflexive reference to evolution, we can all acknowledge our dependence on cooked food.
