The Change In Diet: A Change In Diet

How much can a change in diet affect you? Well, when it's a diet that's changing from eating mostly raw meat and plants to eating cooked meat and plants it could make a very large difference. How has the change from raw meat to cooked meat shaped the way we live now? How big of a role fire play in the evolution of people? How much more energy is taken from raw meat than cooked meat? How have the methods of cooking changed from when cooking first started? What kind of tools and technology was made for cooking? These are the things that I will be talking about in this paper.
The diet is the Homo sapiens at first was mostly vegetables, animal flesh, and raw meat, then over time it was more cooked meat and vegetables which was food that they had to go and hunt for. Then after a while, they started keeping animals, and small crops, and they were able to provide themselves with food instead of having to go get it. They started developing colonies and villages until eventually, we made it present time. The technology that we have today is so advanced that we don’t even need fire to …show more content…
In the past homo sapiens didn’t have the food we have today that’s easy to chew. They had more jaw muscles to chew and a bigger digestive system, in case some of the food was really tough and hard to digest. When they would eat raw meat the meat didn’t give them that much energy, and it took more energy to digest it. When they ate the raw meat it didn’t give them that much energy. So when they started cooking their meat it started helping a lot’ the heat would get rid of some of the diseases’ they would receive more energy from it’ and it took less energy to digest it. The cooked meat is easier to eat because the protein molecules in raw meat are twisted in coils which are held together by bonds. When meat is heated the bonds break and the protein molecule unwinds. So your teeth can chew it better and it can be digested faster and
