熟食动物：烹饪与人类演化

by [美]理查德·兰厄姆 ...

自达尔文的《人类的由来》问世以来，我们一直将人类的演化与QQ扩散视为智慧与适应力的结果。然而，ZM灵长类动物学家理查德·兰厄姆却在《熟食动物》一书提出了另一种惊人的观点：我们的成功演化其实是烹饪的功劳。他在这套论述人类起源的开创性理论中证明，人类演化的关键因素在于由吃生食改为吃熟食。在我们的古人类祖先开始烹饪食物后，人类的消化道便不断缩短，脑部则变得越来越大。原本花在咀嚼坚韧生食上的SJ，此时可以用于狩猎或照料营地。同时，烹饪成为配偶关系与婚姻的基础，创造了家庭，甚造成了劳动性别分工。简而言之，在我们的祖先学会用火之后，人类才算真正诞生。本书探讨了祖先饮食对D代SJ的影响，给我们带来了新的启发，让我们思考人类如何演变成JT这种具有社会性与智慧的有性物种。这套辟蹊径的人类演化新理论必将引发争议，并吸引每一位有意探究我们的远古起源或现代饮食习惯的读者。 ...
