I’ve read Wrangham’s CATCHING FIRE; he makes a very strong case that eating cooked food was the major influence on human evolution from the very beginning of our divergence from the apes.

We are fire apes.

When Holder helps him, he can go Fast and Furious when you hand him a mirror.

Not sure they could do any worse. At least they have good work ethics.

"Gatherer" and "Hunter" preceded all of the above...

Um, if "farmer" is a profession, than so are "hunter," "fisherman," and probably "architect." And maybe "critic."

Not sure what we do with "stay at home mom."

Nope, it's the oldest. That's how we discovered fire.
