archaeological evidenceLive Science
•72% Informative
Evidence suggests people were cooking food at least 50,000 years ago and as early as 2 million years ago.
One piece of archaeological evidence for cooking is cooked starch grains found in dental calculus.
The biological evidence of when cooking began exists in the way the human body has evolved.
Wrangham: "Cooking began about 1.9 million years ago with the origin of the species that most looks like us in human evolution, Homo erectus" Linscott: "There's a lot of people still working on it, and I imagine there will be for a long time".
