Once upon a time, humans lived without grocery stores and even without agriculture. Early humans were forced to hunt and gather for nourishment. So after a hunt, it was unfathomable to waste any of the parts of the carcass. Some of the features, though, like the bones and hooves, were too tough to chew. So humans would add hot stones inside of the carcass to soften the bones. Then as our frontal cortex grew, we invented tools like the pot.

Even though each cell contains mitochondria, they are denser in energy-demanding tissues such as the central nervous system, eyes, ears, liver, heart, and skeletal … [Read more...]
