This isn’t really surprising since studies have shown that thanks to things like tools and fire, humans are able to spend a lot less time eating and gathering food than most other animals do. Basically, because of those two things, we’re able to ‘pre-digest’ food before we stuff it into our pie holes, which means we get more energy out of the food and we don’t need to eat as much as other animals, so that gave us free time to think up things like twerking and the reverse mortgage.
Getting back to this concept, have you read Richard Wrangham's book
Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human? It details how cooking meat changed our protein intake to make it more efficient and allowed for brain growth. More energy, more intellectual ability so that coupled with group cooperation made hominins the dominant primate. Now there's twerking (modern mating ritual?) and reverse mortgaging so that those of us in our dotage can afford to hang out in a club and learn to twerk? Thank you Miley.
