Low Carb Archaeology

The origins of cheese revealed
Scientists have analysed a collection of pottery fragments, approximately 5000 years old, that are laced with milk fat and believe they provide the earliest evidence of cheesemaking. The researchers suspect early European farmers, who had not developed the biological enzymes to process lactose, turned milk into cheese because it was easier to digest, transport and store. 
 I am surely descended from these people somehow.   Cheese flows through my veins.
