Philosophy Wire: Bread before agriculture…

At an archaeological site in northeastern Jordan, researchers have discovered the charred remains of a flatbread baked by hunter-gatherers 14,400 years ago. It is the oldest direct evidence of bread found to date, predating the advent of agriculture by at least 4,000 years. The findings suggest that bread production based on wild cereals may have encouraged hunter-gatherers to cultivate cereals, and thus contributed to the agricultural revolution in the Neolithic period. [1] Having bread before agriculture. Having knowledge before experience. Having wisdom before knowledge. Every time the result is preceding the cause. Don’t you see? You have everything backwards… Eat that bread… Thank the Lord… He has already provided… And you have already eaten…
