When did man start cooking meat?

Ancient man did not cook his own food. Everything he found and collected, he ate raw. This was because he did not know how to prepare food. He didn't know how to make fire. Even when man learned to build a fire, at first he used the fire only to get heat or to scare away animals.

Cooking was discovered by accident. Some of the dead animals were thrown near the fire. The meat was covered with a brown crust. She smelled good and had good taste. And the man guessed that food gets better when cooked.

One of the oldest cooking methods is on hot stones or on an open fire. Man has learned to cook food in pits lined with skins from the inside. It was filled with water and heated to the boiling point with red-hot stones. A pit filled with stones or hot coals became the first stove of an ancient person. Something similar began to be built above the ground, allowing smoke to escape, and with stones blocking the inlet to keep the heat in. Thus the oven was born.

Primitive teapots were made by coating reed baskets with clay. These kettles were placed on the fire for cooking - both with water and without water. Thus, many thousands of years ago, ancient man found two main ways of cooking: by baking or frying in dry heat and by steaming, using moist heat.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What was Mozart's middle name?

Wolfgang.

The full name of the great Austrian composer is Johann Chrysostomos Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart. He himself usually called himself Wolfgang Amadeus (not Amadeus) or Wolfgang Gottlieb (German for Theophilus). "Amadeus" in Latin is the same as in German "Gottlieb" - "beloved of God."

Other memorable middle (or second) names include the following: Richard Tiffany Gere, Rupert Chony Brook, William Cuthbert Faulkner, and Harry S. Truman, where the "C" is just like that, despite the period.

It seems that the parents of the future American president were never able to agree among themselves on whom to name their son after - in honor of his grandfather Solomon Young or in honor of Anderson Shipp (In the English version - Shipp.) Truman.

Especially for ardent punctuation fanatics - pay attention to an excerpt from the Chicago Manual of Style:

"All initials given with a name should be followed by a dot for convenience and coherence, even if they are not abbreviations for names."

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Microplastics end up in food 07.06.2019

The average person eats at least 50 microplastics a year and breathes in the same number more. This is evidenced by data from a scientific study at the University of Victoria in Canada.

Researchers report that in fact, the amount of plastic ingested by a person can be much higher. Since a small number of products were analyzed for plastic content in the study. For example, drinking bottled water will dramatically increase the rate.

At the moment, the exact effect of plastic on the body is still unknown, but it is very clear that microparticles are capable of releasing toxic substances. Also, some pieces of plastic are small enough to penetrate human tissue and trigger an immune response.

Microplastic air pollution comes from the decay of plastic waste, which is abundant all over the planet.

The scientists analyzed 26 previous studies that analyzed the content of microplastics in fish, shellfish, sugar, salt, beer and water, as well as in the air within cities.

Researchers estimate that adults eat about 50 micropalstic particles a year, and children about 000.

But most of the products have not been tested. Scientists suspect that the content of plastic in foods such as bread, meat, dairy products and vegetables may be even higher.
