    Evidence for the cooking of fish 780,000 years ago at Gesher Benot
    Ya’aqov, Israel

    Abstract

    Although cooking is regarded as a key element in the evolutionary
    success of the genus Homo, impacting various biological and social
    aspects, when intentional cooking first began remains unknown. The
    early Middle Pleistocene site of Gesher Benot Ya’aqov, Israel (marine
    isotope stages 18–20; ~0.78 million years ago), has preserved evidence
    of hearth-related hominin activities and large numbers of freshwater
    fish remains (>40,000). A taphonomic study and isotopic analyses
    revealed significant differences between the characteristics of the
    fish bone assemblages recovered in eight sequential archaeological
    horizons of Area B (Layer II-6 levels 1–7) and natural fish bone
    assemblages (identified in Area A). Gesher Benot Ya’aqov
    archaeological horizons II-6 L1–7 exhibited low fish species richness,
    with a clear preference for two species of large Cyprinidae
    (Luciobarbus longiceps and Carasobarbus canis) and the almost total
    absence of fish bones in contrast to the richness of pharyngeal teeth
    95%). Most of the pharyngeal teeth recovered in archaeological
    horizons II-6 L1–7 were spatially associated with ‘phantom’ hearths
    (clusters of burnt flint microartifacts). Size–strain analysis using
    X-ray powder diffraction provided evidence that these teeth had been
    exposed to low temperature (<500 °C), suggesting, together with the archaeological and taphonomic data, that the fish from the
    archaeological horizons of Area B had been cooked and consumed on
    site. This is the earliest evidence of cooking by hominins.

    Is this evidence of non-piscivorous diet in Archaic Homo?
    How many piscivores cook their fish?
    Did they eat marine fish raw, and freshwater fish cooked?
    These species can tolerate brackish water, but live in freshwater.

    Carasobarbus, the himris, is a small genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are found in rivers, streams, lakes and ponds in Western Asia and Northwest Africa. C. canis can reach 66 cm (26 in) in total length

    No, early Homo may have already exploited fish and other aquatic
    resources 1.95 mya in the Turkana Basin: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1002181107

    The point is that you don't have be in the least aquatic in order to
    exploit aquatic resources.
    Even chimpanzees have recently been observed crab-fishing,

    "in primary riverine forest, characterized by shallow permanent
    streams with sandy, rocky soil, and some larger boulders. Our data
    thus show that aquatic fauna can be regularly exploited in a
    rainforest habitat with only small streams."

    https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.jhevol.2019.05.002

    How many piscivores cook their fish?

    Only Homo.

    :-) Yes!
    From Stephen Munro (who found the shell engravings (José Joordens cs 2014 "Homo erectus at Trinil on Java used shells for tool production and engraving" Nature doi 10.1038/nature19362)):
    GBY is also the site where highly nutritious nuts from the aquatic plant Euryale ferox were exploited.
    "Irrespective of the depth of the water, hominins would have had to collect nuts from beneath the lake surface, entailing some amount of time spent under water."

    So Stingrays could swim there from the ocean, but an Aquatic Ape

    The problem is that while the stingray and whale have well-established ancestral marine source populations, no such thing is known for
    hominins. On the other hand, the Turkana Basin has a long sequence of
    sediments that record the evolution of hominins within the basin, from Australopithecus anamensis through Homo habilis, H. erectus/ergaster,
    to Homo sapiens (and the parallel branch of Paranthropus). No "sudden appearance" as in the case of the stingrays and whale.

    Evidence for the cooking of fish 780,000 years ago at Gesher Benot Ya’aqov, Israel

    Abstract

    Although cooking is regarded as a key element in the evolutionary
    success of the genus Homo, impacting various biological and social
    aspects, when intentional cooking first began remains unknown. The
    early Middle Pleistocene site of Gesher Benot Ya’aqov, Israel (marine isotope stages 18–20; ~0.78 million years ago), has preserved evidence
    of hearth-related hominin activities and large numbers of freshwater
    fish remains (>40,000). A taphonomic study and isotopic analyses
    revealed significant differences between the characteristics of the
    fish bone assemblages recovered in eight sequential archaeological
    horizons of Area B (Layer II-6 levels 1–7) and natural fish bone assemblages (identified in Area A). Gesher Benot Ya’aqov
    archaeological horizons II-6 L1–7 exhibited low fish species richness, with a clear preference for two species of large Cyprinidae
    (Luciobarbus longiceps and Carasobarbus canis) and the almost total
    absence of fish bones in contrast to the richness of pharyngeal teeth (>95%). Most of the pharyngeal teeth recovered in archaeological
    horizons II-6 L1–7 were spatially associated with ‘phantom’ hearths (clusters of burnt flint microartifacts). Size–strain analysis using
    X-ray powder diffraction provided evidence that these teeth had been
    exposed to low temperature (<500 °C), suggesting, together with the archaeological and taphonomic data, that the fish from the
    archaeological horizons of Area B had been cooked and consumed on
    site. This is the earliest evidence of cooking by hominins.

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-022-01910-z

    This is evidence of communal cooking & controlled fire, plausibly indicating fully nomadic small portable shelters aka domeshields. When hearths became inherent to later nuclear family larger semi-sedentary dome huts, communal cooking was done only for
    ceremonial gatherings aka feasts.

    Except for coastal dispersal, the fact that we have 2-million-plus year

    So let me spell it out for you: Waterside, Aquatic Ape, littoral, whatever

    You're using tool as a verb: Not a noun but a verb. AND THEN you are pretending that this makes it a noun.

    They are "relatively simple stone tools", Oldowan type or Mode 1, and
    that's pretty basal:

    Shangchen is not exactly a coastal site.
    And the oldest stone artifacts are from inland Africa.

    "Tool" isn't an action here -- as it is in your "He hammered the nut with

    "Tool" isn't an action here -- as it is in your "He hammered the nut with
    a rock." Tool is being used as a noun. So if you're not a screeching >narcissist, admit your stupid mistake.

    O, you thought I was engaging you in your conceptual confusions?
    Nah dude, just jerking your chain, trolling the troll.

    Let's see what DSM-5-TR has to say about that:

    A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and
    present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of
    the following:

    1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates
    achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
    2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power,
    brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
    3. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be
    understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status
    people (or institutions).
    4. Requires excessive admiration.
    5. Has a sense of entitlement (i.e., unreasonable expectations of
    especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations).
    6. Is interpersonally exploitative (i.e., takes advantage of others to
    achieve his or her own ends).
    7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the
    feelings and needs of others.
    8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of
    him or her.
    9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.

    Hmm,"grandiose sense of self-importance", arrogant, haughty behaviors
    or attitudes".

    Let's see what DSM-5-TR has to say about that:

    You can't admit errors, no matter how stupid. You run -- flee -- whenever you are put on the spot, like right now, because underlying narcissism in an inferiority complex. You can't rise to any challenge because, underneath it all, you know you're going to fail.

    You seek to control conversations, not participate.

    In this example you pretending that I was using the word "Tool" as a verb, and when I quoted myself -- copied & pasted my words -- and challenged you to either identify what action I was calling an object or admit your stupid mistake,
    that led you down this ill conceived path you are now on.

    Just admit it: You said something stupid.

    Go on. It wasn't your first time, not by any stretch of the imagination, and it sure
    won't be your last, so face your flaw instead of deluding yourself into believing
    that you are flawless... again.
