A History of the World in 6 Glasses: 1st 9 Weeks
Introduction: Vital Fluids
1. Many of them have been used as currecnies, for religious rites, political symbols, or as souces of philosophical and artistic inspiration.
2. (my word pad does not let me make charts, so I've hand drawn it in this area)
Chapter 1: A Stone Age Brew
1. The consequences of agricultural revolution was a turning point. Civilizations began focusing on making surpluses rather than producing new food and crafts, they became more modern.
2. The archaeological evidence that supports the cultivation, harvesting, storage and processing of cereal grains is since there weren't any other foodstuff to makes soup they were able to make a thick porridge or a thin broth or gruel. This discovery led to the creation of tools and techniques to collect, process, and store grain.
3. The result of farming led to food surplus. The result was the first permanent settlements such as those established on the eastern coast of the mediterranean from around 10,000 BCE. They consisted of simple round huts with roofs supported by wooden posts and floors sunk up to a yard into the ground.
4. There was never a certain reason for the switch to farming. There are theories, that perhaps the amount of food available to hunter-gatherers in the fertile crescent diminished, for example, either because of climate changes, or because some species died out or were hunted to extinction. Another possibility is that sedentary lifestyle increased human fertility, leading the population to grow. Or once beer was discovered, and its consumption had become socially and ritually important.
