What came first? Humans or cooking? What does processing food have to do with our appearance? How are cooking and politics connected? How did the division of labor between the sexes arise? In a vibrant blend of cookbook and cultural history, Berlin-based artist Tine Steen explores how the daily "manipulation of food," which we now call "cooking," has shaped not only our bodies but also our social relationships. But how do we know all this? We encounter anthropologists and naturalists conducting expeditions and experiments, but we also closely examine our prehistoric ancestors in 25 recipes to discover the tricks and technological innovations they used to make their food both tastier and more nutritious. This journey takes us back millions of years into the past... Ages before Homo sapiens could even eat the first paleo food.
