Video Response

We have watched a video called “Did the Cooking make us Human?” and it was about whether if the cooking helped us to get developed or not. I personally think that cooking has made humans to develop in physical ways, and I think this is proven enough by the researches and the experiments. Even though people cannot say that it is absolutely right that humans developed quicker because of the cooking, however there are some results, which shows that cooking at least helped a bit. For example, the scientists have done an experiment using a snake. They gave both of the raw meet and cooked meet, and the snake responded faster when the scientists gave the snake a cooked meet. Not only this, but also I think that cooking made people to think more and use more advanced tools. Long time ago, they must have used fires to cook their food and they must have known that fire is very dangerous for them to use freely. Therefore, people had to think and choose the right tools to cook their food. So, I am saying that since they would know that the fire is dangerous and it is much delicious when they cook their ingredients, they would have started to think more to use their tools. Thinking must have made people to ‘think’ in a better way, in other words they must have helped people to get smarter. Also, since they had to think differently, they must have used themselves different. In conclusion, since they have used themselves and think differently, it must have helped them to get developed physically.
