How did early humans learn the benefits of cooking food?

Hard to find a good answer for this. After discovering fire, were early humans just wondering what would happen if they put meat and other foods over the fire? Did they learn that eating uncooked meat can make them sick?

I’d imagine that early humans were just like us. See fire, decide to throw random objects in fire, watch it burn in a trance like state. Eventually, throw oh i dont know, brontosaurus leg in fire, watch it burn, but all of a sudden, it smells yummy. Investigate by touching leg in fire(safely or not) and licking fingers. Something tastes finger licking good, risk 3rd degree burns to pull brontosaurus leg out the fire, put meat in mouth. Success.
