Matthew Henry once said, “Here is bread, which strengthens man 's heart, and therefore is called the staff of Life.” Bread in many perspectives is the staff of life; it has come a long way with each step evolving into something new; evolving into over two hundred types of bread that are sold worldwide. Bread, born from the minds of humans, to turn a grain into flour, unite it with liquids and toast them over hot stones, is revolutionary. Bread has evolved into impacting our culture, religion, and technology. As Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra once said, “All sorrows are less with bread. ” Bread made this nation survive.
Beforehand, the evolution of bread has improved with new technology, resulting in many types of bread. Dating back to the Neolithic era, when cereal grains and water were mixed into a paste and cooked, bread is considered to be one of the oldest prepared foods. Around 10,000 BC, with the dawn of the Neolithic age and the spread of agriculture, grains became the backbone of making bread. The earliest bread grains was ground by hand with rocks, resulting in coarse whole grain bread, which would have descended from Europe known as the pumpernickel. In like manner, the Mesopotamians refined this procedure approximately around 800 B.C, using two flat circular stones stacked on top one another to grind the grain. These stones were continuously circumvolve by draft animals or slaves. Take note that the mass cultivation of wheat leads to omit animal power to speed up
The term Neolithic Revolution, commonly given to the changeover from food gathering to food producing. The same tools were used but it was not one single revolution event.The term Agricultural Revolutions is more precise because it emphasizes the central role of food production and signals that the changeover occurred several times. The adoption of agriculture often included the domestication of animals for food.Early farmers used fire to clear fields of shrubs and trees and discovered that ashes were a natural fertilizer. Farming was formed in the Middle East in 10,000 BCE in the "fertile crescent" of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Grains were abundant in that area such as emmer wheat, barley, oats, rye as well as pulses
The emergence of agriculture was a major stepping stone in human history. During this birth of agriculture, also known as the Neolithic revolution, humans began inhabiting permanent settlements, grow their own crops, and domesticate both plants and animals for food (Weisdorf, 2005). Considering humans have been hunter-gatherers for the majority of their approximately 7 million years of existence, the emergence of agriculture in the Old World only occurring 10,000-5,000 years ago, marks a significant transformation in food sustenance techniques (Weisdorf, 2005). However, this turning point in history is associated with both positive and negative implications. There is much controversy over whether or not the introduction of
Neither life nor culture can be sustained without food. On a very basic level, food is fundamentally essential for life, not simply to exist, but also to thrive. A means by which carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, nutrients, and calories are introduced into the body, food is a mechanism of survival. However, on a more abstract level, food is also fundamentally essential for culture by establishing its perimeters and dimensions and in shaping its authenticity and character. Food becomes the
