I think it's interesting, but doesn't belong on Futurology. In fact, not being a scientist myself, I'd say it's almost exactly the opposite of Futurology.

True. But it’s fun to imagine our prehistoric ancestors sitting around the “fire,” picking pieces of fish out of their teeth, and debating the future merits of this new tangled “cooking” technology.

No doubt the majority would complain that it’s bound to put a lot of cavemen out of work, or that it’s too little, too late to avoid the coming ice age crisis.

I think Marrast brings up a valid point, that the bones may have been thrown into the fire. Whether the fish was cooked first or not, the fact that mankind was using fire so long ago is spectacular enough.
