Cooked meat and how we learned to like it


I'm watching NOVA one of my favorite shows ever. It is about apes hunting, using spears to hunt bushbabies, a smaller primate. To hunt and eat , they like meat. I had developed a theory about how we in primeval times developed the taste for cooked meat. A forest catches fire and some animals are caught in it and are burnt, cooked, we as scavengers go back after the fire is out and eat what is left. 

Cooked meat, connecting the fire also with the cooking of the meat. I thought this interesting.
