    There is evidence that we made beer before bread. That’s the kind of scale we’re talking here.

      My understanding of the current theory.

      Grains were eaten as a porridge.

      People started to realise if you let some watery porridge sit open for a few days, something good happens.

      People experimented…beer was created.

      People then found adding beer to ground grains to be baked caused it to rise.

      People experimented…bread was created.
