Fire didn’t make us human.
Animal fat did.
In this powerful exchange, CJ Hunt and Nora Gedgaudas challenge one of the most commonly repeated narratives about human evolution.
Before we ever engineered fire, we needed the brain architecture to create and control it. And what helped build that brain? Nutrient-dense animal fat.
Long before roasting over open flames… our ancestors were chopping, consuming, and thriving on fat-rich animal foods that supported rapid brain expansion.
If this shifts how you think about evolution, nutrition, or what truly fuels human potential, you’ll want to watch the full conversation.
