[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 430, member: 1"] [URL='https://news.stanford.edu/2018/09/12/crafting-beer-lead-cereal-cultivation/'][B]An ancient thirst for beer may have inspired agriculture, Stanford archaeologists say - Stanford News[/B][/URL] [I]Stanford researchers have found the oldest archaeological evidence of beer brewing, a discovery that supports the hypothesis that in some regions, beer may have been an underlying motivation to cultivate cereals. [/I] Stanford University archaeologists are turning the history of beer on its head. A research team led by Li Liu, a professor of Chinese archaeology at Stanford, has found evidence of the earliest brewmasters to date, a finding that might stir an old debate: What came first, beer or bread? In a cave in what is now Israel, the team found beer-brewing innovations that they believe predate the early appearance of cultivated cereals in the Near East by several millennia. Their findings, published in the [I][URL='https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352409X18303468']Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports[/URL][/I], support a hypothesis proposed by archaeologists more than 60 years ago: Beer may have been a motivating factor for the original domestication of cereals in some areas.
