more bs from anthropologists...humans most likely first observed the effects of alcohol from fruit in much the same way that elephants and baboons did...by eating it late in the season when all the fruit was on the ground.

You can see how distilling alcohol could have come about from someone leaving stored fruit in a container for too long and then gradually refining the process.

I think Maslow would have to disagree with the store fruit for alcohol first and then realize you can eat it later theory.

“more bs from anthropologists...humans most likely first observed the effects of alcohol from fruit in much the same way that elephants and baboons did...by eating it late in the season when all the fruit was on the ground.”

4th sentence of the article...

“Here is how the story likely began — a prehistoric human picked up some dropped fruit from the ground and popped it unsuspectingly into his or her mouth.”

So are you agreeing or disagreeing?

Oh, I don't know...alcohol is pretty high up on MY hierarchy of needs. I need beer a LOT more than I need an apple. LOL
