Did Cooking Make Us Human

We are the only species on earth that cooks its food - and we are 
also the cleverest species on the planet. The question is: do we 
cook because we're clever and imaginative, or are we clever and 
imaginative because our ancestors discovered cooking?
       
Horizon examines the evidence that our ancestors' changing diet 
and their mastery of fire prompted anatomical and neurological 
changes that resulted in taking us out of the trees and into the 
kitchen.
