Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
The publisher's blurb for Wrangham's book backs the cooking/digestive half of the sentence, but supplies nothing at all for the medicine-and-pathogens clause.
“Once our hominid ancestors began cooking their food, the human digestive tract shrank and the brain grew.”
- And in human behavioral ecology, cooking changed digestive selection pressures, and medicine changes the selection pressures on pathogens.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
