Benefited from technology and our bodies changed because we made food from fire went from monosaccrides to complex carbs having our brains increase. Pre-digest- able to breakdown collagens and complex molecules and so our bodies were able to adapt. Small intestine shortened and energy used to aid in the growing of our brains. Hunting megafauna; without fire humans wouldn"t devote so much attention to hunting and so social groups changed. As soon as they hunted megafauna needed to change social organization and so caused male dominance. Tools, need to hunt, cut up, dissect etc. Make of tool is someway lead to the conception of the divine.
