Beer has created human civilization

Scientists claim that beer - not bread - is the reason for ancient men to socialize and adapt to society.

Ancient people began to transform from hunter-gatherer lifestyle to cereal cultivation. Experts have argued that beer was the source of the desire for a stable life of the ancients. One of them is Patrick McGovern - director of the archaeological project on bio-cuisine, fermentation, and Health at the University of Pennsylvania.

Research by scientists suggests that the ancient people grew cereals primarily to make beer, not bread.

Patrick thinks that beer has many advantages, such as high content of B vitamins, essential amino acids. And in fact, drinking beer is safer than drinking water because of the production process, beer has been killed bacteria and viruses.

Patrick also showed traces of sage and thyme containing anti-cancer substances, found in beer steles in ancient Egypt. Similarly, wormwood containing anticancer has also been found in rice wine of ancient Chinese people.

Beer also plays an important role in community activities such as ceremonies, anniversaries .

The theory of the importance of beer was first written by Robert Braidwood at the University of Chicago in the 1950s. He gave many proofs of the main use of cereals to make beer in the settlements of the Natufians lived from 13 thousand to 19 thousand years BC, now Syrians, Jordanians and Israelis.

Along with Braidwood, a professor of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania gave little evidence of the popularity of bread.
