A recently published study in Nature has been picked up by the popular media and claims that humans first started to make cheese about 7,500 years ago. One popular media account is provided here: http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-ancient-cheese-20121213,0,1754591.story
And Nature provide a layperson-friendly article here: http://www.nature.com/news/art-of-cheese-making-is-7-500-years-old-1.12020 The only real question is how can one have cheese that is 7,500 years old in a world that is only 6,000 years old? See: http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v1/n1/world-born-4004-bc Now, it is possible that some cheeses *taste* like they're 7,500 years old but that's another matter. ;-) -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
