Many years ago there was a book called "The Ascent of Man" by Jacob Bronowski. In one of chapters he stated that when humankind was spending all its waking hours gathering nuts, berries, and vegetables, we did not have time to develop what we know now as "civilization." But once we discovered that we could eat meat, a concentrated form of protein, we could give up the gathering lifestyle and had more time on our hands.... time to create civilization, poetry, art, music, industry, and much more.
BTW, the title "The Ascent of Man" was a direct response to Darwin's book, "The Descent of Man."
It is pointed out that once man discovered how to use fire to cook meat, the time it took people to eat went from 4 hours to 1 hour per day just from not having to chew raw meat.
More nonsense.
Raw meat is easier to chew than cooked.
Cut into small pieces, you don't even have to chew. Just swallow it down.
Digests easily.
Somebody probably had a fire going and accidently dropped some raw meat in, picked it out, sniffed it, ate it, and liked the char taste. But it certainly had nothing to do with ease of digestion.
I just read that in one of the books on early humans. Can't remember where. My own theory is that they first came across animals killed in brush and forest fires and found it preferable. Figured out that they could carry some hot coals back to camp and make their own fire from them, but yours could be right too.
