I use to make a flour and water “flatbread” when I was desperate, usually ate it with ketchup.

This is significant, as it might drive-back the discovery of beer by 10,000 years. Think about it, we’ve been getting wasted for ten more millenia.

Sure there was. Before man wrote history he was prehistoric man.
That is like saying there was no “bronze age” man. Sure there was. When people started using bronze tools they were “bronze age”.

Given that, I would think beer would have been about the same time.

Why grind roots?? maybe scrape them clean...make root pancakes...like potato pancakes.
Next thing you know, they'll find a macaroni machine

Fred and Barney dropped some tomatoes and cheese slices on the bread dough and voila, Pizza.
They were baking their bread on the slopes of Vesuvius!

Before beer there was HONEY and GRAPES and OTHER WILD FRUIT. And you didn't have to even have ceramic pots to work that stuff down to a potable inebriating libation (for birthday parties and stuff like that, right).
These guys had been making cheese for at least 50,000 to 75,000 years ~ since their arrival in Central Asian ~ takes a slower sort of fermintation which requires cool weather typical of the Ice Age.

The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) I feel sorry for former employees.
Imagine being at an interview and having to state your previous job was for PNAS.
"Yes, I worked for PNAS.
I put every effort into PNAS, there were even times when I took PNAS work home.
PNAS had an important place in my life.."

I imagine cheese making was more important back then as it was unlikely lactose tolerance had yet evolved in those North European and African cattle herding societies where it exists today.
Cheese fermentation makes a product that is undrinkable to almost all adult mammals into a palatable food.

‘flour and water flatbread
Even fried in butter, it was pretty bad. (usually after I bought a pack of cigs instead of food, like ramen noodles)

When the Brits first went to Tasmania, they discovered the most primitive tribe ever encountered.
The native Tasmanians did not know the use of bows, atlatls, boomerangs, boats, wooden rafts, or clothing. They did not know how to make any kind of shelter. If it rained, they got wet.
But they made booze. They gathered tree sap in bark pans and let it ferment naturally.
I think we have been getting buzzed for at least 100,000 years.

Try sourdough bread, water, salt, and flour. Make up some sourdough add the above, kneed, let it sit in your nice warm cave, punch it sown, kneed, shape, raise and bake. Save 15% or so of the dough for the next round.
