Abstract

The article presents the authors' comments on the article within this issue titled "The Raw and the Stolen: Cooking and the Ecology of Human Origins," by Richard W. Wrangham which focuses on the role of cooking in human evolution. The authors agree to most of the hypotheses. However, they disprove the hypotheses that increase in the quantity of nutrients available to those who could gain access to and exploit underground storage organs account for increased body size in the female erectus.
