Prehistoric times

A hearth with cooking utensils
  • 2.5-1.8 million years ago: The discovery of the use of fire probably meant the invention of cooking.[3]
  • 250,000 years ago: Hearths appear, accepted guess for start of cooking chicken.[4]
  • 170,000 years ago: Cooked starchy roots and potatoes in Africa[5][6]
  • 40,000 years ago: First evidence of human fish consumption.[7][8]
  • 30,000 years ago: Earliest archaeological evidence for flour, which was likely processed into an unleavened bread.[9]
  • 25,000 years ago: The fish-gorge, a kind of fish hook, appears.[10]
  • 13,000 BCE: Contentious evidence of oldest domesticated rice in Korea.[11] Their 15,000-year age challenges the accepted view that rice cultivation originated in China about 12,000 years ago.[11] These findings were received by academia with strong skepticism,[12] and the results and their publicizing has been cited as being driven by a combination of nationalist and regional interests.[13]
  • 12,500 BCE: The oldest evidence of bread-making, found in a Natufian site in Jordan's northeastern desert.[14][15]
  • 11,500 - 6200 BCE: Genetic evidence published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) shows that all forms of Asian rice, both indica and japonica, spring from a single domestication that occurred 8,200–13,500 years ago in China of the wild rice Oryza rufipogon.[16]
