Okay i read it and reread it and extracted this

[S]tone tools and fossil bones--the latter commonly displaying
distinctive
cut-marks produced when a carcass is dismembered and stripped of
edible
flesh with a sharp-edged stone flake--are found together on many
Plio-Pleistocene archaeological sites, convincing proof that by at
least 2.0
to 2.5 Ma [million years ago] before present (BP) these early hominids
did
in fact eat meat

no mention of cooked meat here just evidence of butchering of raw meat
with
stone tools.
If you read on that site the discussion about fire there is not
evidence of
fire earth before few hundreds thousands years ( 1,2 or 3 may be 5 at
the
most.)
Now reread my following post and see that i was wondering how you got
this
2.5 milions years of domestication of fire
so i know what you are talking about but am not sure about you. So the
point
that i made in my 1st post is even more demonstrated . You might be
going
into the paleo idea as you went into the frutarian one. with an
overenthousiastic atitude.
