Claude Levi-Strauss, “The Raw and the Cooked: Introduction to a Science of Mythology”, 1964 was a nonfiction Anthropology book on cooking. The “culinary triangle” shown in the diagram above is discussed as “mythology” by anthropologists Claude Levi-Strauss. The chemist Louis Pasteur, convinced the world of the action of temperature on microbes.

The action of temperature on “raw nature” into “cooked culture” is Claude Levi-Strauss’s mythology topic.

Claude Levi-Strauss, “The Raw and the Cooked: Introduction to the Science of Mythology”, 1964 was an influence of anthropologist Richard Wrangham, “Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human”, 2009. Human beings are “creatures of the flame”; and, transforming “raw nature” into “cooked culture” was the first human trait (followed in evolution by “speech”).
