WE ARE ALL DESIGNISTS NOW:

Did we evolve because of cooking? ( Jemima Lewis, 9/19/09, Daily Telegraph)

There are many reasons to learn to cook, and here's the latest: a hot dinner, apparently, is what separates us from the apes. Richard Wrangham, a primatologist and anthropologist at Harvard, has written a book arguing that the human species could never have evolved so successfully had we not discovered fire, and mastered the art of turning raw food into cooked.

And so we become our own designers. Science is becoming the highest form of comedy.
