These sorts of completely out-of-left-field’s-left-field beliefs absolutely fascinate me, I’m not being disingenuous here.

Are you part of a proper subculture that engages with this? If so, where do you all hang out, what do you read?

The is good evidence to suggest that human ancestors started to use fire to cook meat and/or starchy vegetables more than million of years ago. It is enough for evolutionary adaptation.

There are even suggestions that it was cooking by opening untapped sources of calories that allowed for a bigger brain to evolve.
