Let's add a kink to that grain development timeline: It's quite likely that grain was first cultivated for brewing beer, not baking bread. Finding evidence of humans growing grain does not guarantee that they were actually eating the grain!

As has been pointed out on this thread, the grinding of grain for flour came after the domestication, so the evidence indeed points to fermented spirits. You're a man who will not take yes for an answer!!
