Must have been an ape as stupidly self-destructive as modern man, 
considering the effect of cooked food on health.Certainly it has had 
monstrous effects on us, since cooking increases quantity whiile 
decreasing quality. Consider advanced glycation endproducts, for only 
one nasty result.

If Wrangham or his believers had tried eating raw paleo for a few months 
and then tried cooked paleo they would be singing a different tune.
