Peter: >But, when it comes to meat it is not clear to me that there is an >significant advantage eating it cooked over eating it raw. For me it is. Given the fact, that all animals were wild in paleolithic times, their muscle meat was containing very little fat. Paleolithic hunter-gatherers went for the fatty parts of the animal. I think, that an ancient instinctive eater must have gotten a hard stop on the muscle meat. So the only chance to use it for nutrition would have been light cooking (in times of scarcity of course).
