RE: Surviving the Extremes: The one way human physique outperforms nature... Kinda.

in #science7 years ago

Yeah, though sometimes our intuition can be way off lol, so I always like to dig a little deeper just in case. You're right though, our ability to improvise is something to cherish, and though I can't imagine how one discovered cheese, I do know that mongols used to survive by drinking a mixture of the milk and blood of their own horses, so chunky, moldy milk isn't too far a stretch!

Sort:  

Cant remember if i read this somewhere orbmade it up - but i imagine cheese might have been the result of storing milk in a fairly fresh cows stomach being used as a water skin. If you put milk in their instead of water the rennet in the stomach might curdle the milk - and thats the big realization moment we'd need.

I think i made that up.

lol! worth looking up though!
