006 Bird-shaped Pestle¹ 25 Jan 10

Mon, 25 Jan 10

At the end of the Ice Age, one of the most important parts of human existence was finding enough food to survive. Taking a pestle from Papua New Guinea as an example, Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, asks why our ancestors decided² to cook foods, rather than just eat them raw. The answer provides us with a telling insight into the way early humans settled on the land. Including contributions by food writer Madhur Jaffrey, campaigner Sir Bob Geldof and archaeologist Professor Martin Jones.
