I was at work today, casually reading National Geographic, and I found this article about what makes us human. According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, it is cooking that sets us apart from apes, well some of us at least. Apparently, coking our food releases more nutrition; so we didn’t need to spend so much time gathering and chewing. It also allowed our brains to get bigger, or whatever. So, when my mom was yelling at me to clean up while I was grilling this kick ass Rosemary Chicken, I was just increasing my intelligence.  And, as I always suspected, cleaning is and will make you stupid.
