ELI5: Of all animal species, why do only humans need cooked food (and clothes) to survive?

We don't. We can survive just fine without either of those things. We *choose not to* because life's better if we have them. Clothes help keep our skin intact and help us regulate our temperature, while cooked food is more nutritious and easier to digest. Life's less unpleasant this way, but those things aren't required for survival.
