an unreal, ugly life-world:
tilts After the last Ice Age, the climate and the Vegetation changes. Berries and fruits are scarce, the land will not look like much. The hunting game is running, the greater hunger. However, wild grasses are found abundantly at least, at first, but low yields. First collected
randomly and out of necessity more and more grains are an essential component of the diet. Randomness has a working surface and makes my heart beat: Random seed at the storage space, random intersections yielding varieties. And already formed within a few generations of strong places, which must be defended against animals, weeds and people.
emerge village structures, disease, pestilence and death and all the other amenities of the settled life.
What a beautiful story! Or so I've presented so far at least, the settling of man, someone I could have ever asked.
Someone tell me but never asked for it and still bites without foreign intervention, this modern Menschwerdungsmythos to more than one place:
has Though man defied year ThunderT thousands of the change of climatic and environmental conditions and moved away about the game is to him at the beginning of the Neolithic Revolution no longer be managed? And although at first brought no grain yield, but only disproportionately costly to reasonable measures were to collect? So where has the initial advantage of the grain collecting hidden, can occur without which neither random nor selective breeding of crops?
Enter the hunter so quickly and become farmers? Although we still seasonal change our residence nomadic, on vacation nonetheless?
What is the solution to the dilemma? Right, instead of poverty and hunger, we just go out the opposite: Abundance and riches on wild game!
because this obviously assignable, but the common good secretive brings abundance in the fertile crescent change with the grains to collect hard and food not far from suitable ferment rapidly mixed with water and form a kind of primitive beer - even in small amounts. So intoxicating is said to have witnessed the beginning of settled life, including beer is an attractive additional service in addition to other intoxicating berries and fermented fruit An additional offering, the culture and prosperity, and well worth the effort.
From there the trail went quickly to today's bread: A little change in temperatures during fermentation, slightly different proportions of grain and water, and already we have bread instead of beer. Yes Is it a coincidence that the first domesticated wild barley grass was all.
is finally resolved, as was the beer and the bread on top. Finally, we have clarified the Beer of the engine of any cultural effort was and is.
An exciting, yet somewhat controversial, however, results of research - to the delight of Bavaria and its Oktoberfest.
And my first contribution to the incomplete list of fascinating ideas.
