How Civilization Was Created By Bread

We know that grain agriculture led to human settlements, which led to communities and civilization. We also know that beer is almost as old as the early human settlements.

And beer, as ancient as it is, may have started out as an offspring of bread making, as it has the same ingredients. It would have been easy to use bread dough, or starter, as the catalyst that turned water into a tasty drink. Let's hear the latest findings about the history of our daily bread.
