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?

You’re putting the cart before the horse. We can’t eat most raw meat now because after we started cooking the food we evolved away from being able to properly digest it uncooked. You need to remember it took a very long time and I’m sure accidents led to many food discoveries. Like leaving corn too close to a fire and it popped. Maybe some raw meat fell into a fire and not wanting to waste it someone ate it.
