anyway, I do Like your idea, but I think the only flaw is that Adam and Eve were already human, even before they ate the fruit in the midst of the garden.
Its just too unlikely that by eating meat one generation turned from Neanderthals to Humans.

Is this story simply the account of that happening, and defining the moment where Humans made the seperation from animal conscienceness to a higher level of understanding or knowledge, packaged in a fun little story that would compartmentalize millions of years of evolution into one small period of time.

I like it when people try and think up new ideas, like this.
However, at the risk of breaking your admonition, "not to tell you how to interpret the Bible."
It is the tree of knowledge of "good and evil". Not knowledge. It is to know in the Biblical sense. "to become one with, to experience". God, only created good to start with. So the knowledge of "good and evil", was
to bring evil into the experience of man. That is what the curse was all about. God, "cursed the earth, for mans sake," He cursed it with evil. So man could know the difference.
Because once he ate of the tree. Man begin to see, everything as good or evil. There was no evil. So man started to wrongly judge things as good or evil.
According to the sages, man was initially vegetarian, this was true for Adam and his descendants according to the orthodox sources. Apparently mankind, according to the Hebrew Bible, began eating meat after the flood of Noach (Noah).

It's probably one of those "global warming/global cooling/nothing's happening" things where everyone has "proof" of what they're saying. Always remember, just cause a scientist says something, doesn't make it true, if anything you should question it further.....
