Reply to comment by Outrageous-Ad-9019 in Fish fossils show first cooking may have been 600,000 years earlier than previously thought by Outrageous-Ad-9019

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.
