Barbecue made human civilization possible.
 
Homo erectus probably first tasted cooked meat after a forest fire burned animals, and it was good. Eventually early humans developed helpful skills like domesticating dogs to help with the hunt and husbanding animals that tasted best. Meat provided more protein per chew than anything else, and cooked meat made chewing easier. The family circle and tribal structure evolved so that men became hunters and women became cooks. Ergo, the first pitmasters were probably women.
