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 came across a dead deer once when walking through the remains of a brushfire. A primitive person finding this would not waste the meat, and cooked meat has two things going for it…It is easier to chew, and also…it takes longer to spoil compared to raw meat.
Brushfires are a regular occurrence in nature. It wouldn’t take much to make the connection, even for a primitive brain.
