Food and evolution: Home Homo sapiens in a plate

We eat several times a day, we invent new dishes and improve the methods of preparing old ones, we study culinary art and try the kitchen of other countries and continents, but we don’t even pay attention to how closely the story of food is connected with the history of civilization. It seems that there is no connection and food has no story.
In fact, there is a story - and what else!
Our food has evolved, that is, it developed with us. There is a huge difference between a piece of meat that accidentally fell into a fire in time immemorial, and modern stripper, and at the same time, a family relationship has been traced between them and millennia. Exactly the same connection is also traced between the grains that were once soaked in the water in order to eat, and the current assortment of cereals and pills. Even between Catholic posts and Japanese Tempur dishes, there is a connection, although it is difficult to believe in it. Everything is interconnected in our world!
- How did religious beliefs affect the cuisine of the peoples of the world?
- Why did the trading of living sheep flourished in the ancient Arab markets?
- How did Indian chefs turn overseas dishes into purely Indian with yogurt?
- Why did Japanese emperors, despite the religious ban, fed the soldier meat?
- How did the development of marine trade affect Italian and Byzantine cuisine?
- Why have Turkic mantles on Russian soil became economical and small dumplings?
- Because of what, the purchase of food and spices has become a significant cost item at the court of Louis XIV?
- How did the October Revolution of 1917 destroy the centuries-old tradition of making Russian dishes in Russia?
