Big question- did the first humans cook meat or fish?

Corollary question: how many forest fires before someone discovered ganja? Or if they ate it first, which caveman Einstein determined incineration/inhalation trumped digestion? But if they ate it first, how many cases of tracheal poison ivy did they endure before they struck gold?

Did somebody mention "tartare."  The Monguls/Tartars would tenderize meat by riding on it while on horseback. Eat it raw.

When I came back stateside,I jived my way into a SERE course courtesy of the Corps.We drank our urine,ate raw elk which included organ meat, since the limitation of any access to flame was grossly low in a wet,damp forest...but a fella we called Junkman got us lit..the raw consumption was rough.I vote flame....and don't trust wild mushrooms.Igotchopeyoteritehea.

How did humans learn about fire to cook meat and fish ? 

Veggies? 

 

My uneducated guess is when there were fires in the forest or savanna, animals were trapped and burned. Hungry early humans found them, liked it and must have made the connection. So I'm going to say Animals, final answer.
