[Dan31698]

Meat … and fire. Two ancient, time-honored and complementing elements of the macho experience. Cro-Magnon hunters returned with a freshly killed mammoth, chopped it up, built a huge bonfire, cooked it until the parasites were (mostly) gone and then chowed down. Picture it: As they eat, sitting on a circle of boulders outside the cave entrance, they tell war stories, dirty Cro-Magnon-era jokes and the occasional insult that leads to a bitter, on-the-spot club fight. Meanwhile, the Cro-Magnon women scurry about inside the cave, cooking lizards and wild vegetables over hot rocks and feeding the kids. Ironically, anthropologists have determined that it was stone age women who kept humanity alive. Wild plants and small animals that they trapped were far more regular and reliable than the occasional big game animal that would be brought in sporadically (maybe two or three times in a month). I reckon the modern day practice of barbecuing – outside, flames, meat, guys, beer, Laker game blasting on the radio – is a throwback, a reconnection of sorts, to the days of the cave.
