We know that life without food is impossible, but we rarely think about the fact that food is the most important driving force of history. Maybe that is why such an obvious topic as the history of food has not been scientifically developed in our country. And in this sense, the book by Anna Pavlovskaya, Doctor of Historical Sciences and professor at Moscow State University, is a unique phenomenon. The author examines through the prism of food history the history of the ancient world from the beginning of the so-called "Neolithic Revolution" to the onset of Antiquity, that is, the period when mankind made the transition from gathering and hunting to food production and thus laid the foundation for the emergence of the first world civilizations. How, why and where did this happen? What were the consequences, cultural and physiological, of this transition? How was it reflected in myths and world religions? In answering these questions, the author tells us some very interesting things about the origin of the oldest foods, many of which are still on our table today.
