When Did Humans Begin Consuming Alcohol in Antiquity

The answer is much older than you may think—millions of years, not thousands. The first brewery or the creation of wine did not start our relationship with alcohol. Ten million years ago, a little primate picked up a piece of fruit that had been left on the ground for too long on an African forest floor. This film explores the entire history of alcohol, from fermented fruit to the Natufian caves in Israel, the enigmatic stone monuments of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, the oldest recipe in the world in ancient China, and the beer that drove ancient Egyptian civilization. You may have a little different perspective on your next drink by the end. #ancienthistory #alcohol #history #beerhistory #humanhistory #explainer #animation #education #ancientegypt #göbeklitepe #archaeology
