Abstract

The modern world is so full of scientific wonders that we often forget to look back in history and recognize landmarks that were just as significant as the discovery of the transistor, penicillin, or the laser beam. The history of our present day food is a prime example of a phenomenon that is considered to be too mundane to be taken seriously. Yet, thousands of years ago man made a scientific discovery concerning food that made possible the growth of settlements that became our cities.
