As a datapoint against âwhat we evolved to eat is what we should eatâ: our bodies also arenât evolved to eat cooked food. But cooking food (meat, milk at least) seems to be better for us than raw.
our bodies also arenât evolved to eat cooked food
We have relatively small teeth, weak jaws, small digestive systems, and low stomach acidity compared to other primates. We are clearly adapted to eating cooked meat and fats.

Seems to be true. Had assumed that a few hundred k years would not be enough for this. Changed my mind
