Can't be bothered to go out and find the articles, but there's a weight of evidence from research over the last few decades indciating that our current physical makeup is largely derived by the evolutionary steps weve made to our diet over the past X thousand years.
Cooking meats and vegetables breaks down much of the complexity in the form of energy and protein bonds &c, enabling greater energy consumption from its raw state.
This is why, unlike many primates, we don't need to spend entire hours of our day chowing down on twigs and leaves, necessitating bulbous bellies, rather having 2 or three concentrated (in terms of mass) meals.
This is also the reason why we have an abundance of fat fuckers around - throwbacks maintaining the consta-munch mentality of our primate ancestors, in an age of high density, processed/cooked foods, which deliver energy much better than a handful of weevils or an uncooked tuber could.
It'd be interesting to see a raw food culture stem off from the rest of humanity for a few tens of decades - see their encroaching horror as they witness their bellies engorge and expand beyond the expectations of their physical ideals.
