I couldn't tell you for bread, but grapes apparently ferment into wine quite easily considering how many natural yeasts exist. All it would take is for someone to pick some grapes, forget about them for a while, and then decide to sip whatever slush remains afterwards.

Most seeds are edible and can be preserved easily. It may have been labor intensive, but when they encountered lush patches of grass it would have been worth plucking them for later, then in seasons when food was scarce they would be motivated to mash them, grind them and cook them into something to fill their stomachs.

Domestication of goats and sheep probably preceded agriculture, so clearing areas for grassland would have increased the amount of lush patches of grass. It also meant they didn't have to migrate as much and could have people dedicated to processing flour and baking it and after doing this repeatedly for years and years they would discover various tricks of the trade like planting the most bountiful and easy to process wheat next to rivers and making clay ovens.

fruits naturally ferment, animals can get drunk eating them so it wouldn't be much of a leap to do it artificially

life expectancy was far lower back then, even factoring out death during infancy, plato is just lucky

Empires rise and fall, Spain was the most powerful empire in Europe at least between the early 1500s and the mid-late 1600s. That is 150 years of dominance.

Education is pretty important

Feudalism makes perfect sense actually. The King owns the land that you farm, he's just letting you use it for a fee (rent). The King owns the land because he can send his goons to kill anyone who says otherwise. Anyone who starts achieving any amount of power relative to the king recieves an offer of becoming the kings vassal. If he accepts he recieves a fief like a town or a village (he doesn't own his fief, he just gets the right to take their rents, the king can take it back if he wants). If he declines the offer of vassalage the king sends his goons to kill him. Anyone may at any point in time attempt to kill the King but attempting this is not a good idea because the king has many strong vassals and many angry goons under his command. And so your options are either: 1: Farm the land and pay rents. 2: Become a famed warlord and become the kings vassal. 3: Be killed by the king's goons. I learned most of this from playing Mount&Blade.

To your logic Tom Cruise is evidence that LRH existed.

OT: there is so little evidence for Jesus' historicity that for any other person or event we dismiss it as myth.

Depends on the region. In World History probably the Victorian Era.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Slavs

The Proto-Slavic homeland is the area of Slavic settlement in Central and Eastern Europe during the first millennium AD, with its precise location debated by archaeologists, ethnographers and historians.[29][30] Theories attempting to place Slavic origin in the Near East have been discarded.[29] None of the proposed homelands reaches the Volga River in the east, over the Dinaric Alps in the southwest or the Balkan Mountains in the south, or past Bohemia in the west.[31][32]

According to historical records, the Slavic homeland would have been somewhere in central Europe (possibly along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea.

Yes, this is where they became known as "slavs" instead of Sarmatians in 6th century AD. But their origins go back to Iran.

They don't come from Iran. Also sarmatians don't come from Iran. Iranians weren't white before the Arab invasion.

I hope I clarified all your questions.

The structure of the ant cities is very complicated. Inside the mound is an extensive system of tunnels and conduits that serves as a ventilation system (air conditioning) for the underground nest. In order to get good ventilation, the termites will construct several shafts leading down to the cellar located beneath the nest. The mound is built above the subterranean nest. The nest itself is a spheroidal structure consisting of numerous gallery chambers. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Some, like Odontotermes termites build open chimneys or vent holes into their mounds, while others build completely enclosed mounds like Macrotermes. The Amitermes (Magnetic termites) mounds are created tall, thin, wedge-shaped, usually oriented north-south.

one ant nation was estimated to contain 306 million worker ants and one million queen ants living in 45,000 nests interconnected by underground passages over an area of 2.7 km2 (670 acres).

it was demonstrated that the largest Japanese, Californian and European Argentine ant supercolonies were in fact part of a single global "megacolony".[5]

Another supercolony, measuring approximately 100 km (62 mi) wide, was found beneath Melbourne, Australia in 2004

bump because this thread is interesting

I find termites to be very sophisticated animals. They build massive structures and have other aspects that could be civilized such as fungi farming. One thing that I find interesting about them when compared is that they don't go to war with other colonies or species.

I assume you're retarded if you studied this in university. Not joking, I assume you are not intelligent enough to study anything else and so you studied the >feels degree where you didn't have to do anything other than regurgitate dogma. It's a meme. Zero respect.

It would be like having a degree in veganism.

It doesn't work in practice.

And probably never will either, unless we get a communist government run by Zen-Buddhists.
