If we are talking about paleolithic humans,
there seems to be an idea that eating raw beef
is more "paleo" than eating cooked beef (substitute bison here if your want)
when the opposite is more true.

We know about the cooking pits of the Clovis people here in North
America 10,000 BP and in general the role of cooking even with
hominid species that predated ours.
