I want a show called, “How the fuck did people figure this shit out.” I am always curious about how people repeatedly figured out how to make things with complicated processes.

Hi, biologist here: fermentation and rot ARE fundamentally the same process of having bacteria or yeast break down decomposing material! We consider “rot” to be when this decomposition turns into toxic compounds, but you could absolutely interchangeably use rot vs fermentation depending on the context you’re using it in. People in the comments really want to pretend like all words have rigid meanings and aren’t influenced by context or social use 🙃 Fermentation IS a type of rot, by definition, AND not all fermentation is “controlled”, AND, not all rot is favorable. More than one thing can be true at one time.

I really don't like this romanticization of ancient ways of living. It should be noted that for the duration of time that much of this was practiced, the average life expectancy of a human was 30. We didn't even cross the average of 40 until the late 1800s.

This video seems to be equating fermentation and rot. They are NOT the same.

Microbiologist here. The difference between rot and fermentation is the byproduct. It all depends on the TYPE of bacteria causing the fermentation/rot. All fermentation/rot relies on bacteria to consume the product and they produce a by-product. Rot is when the byproduct is dangerous. Fermentation is when the byproduct contains a type of alcohol safe for human consumption.

They definitely did get food poisoning and die of diarrhea, but this still was better than not eating, not being able to store meat, etc. We’re doing a lot better than they were. They did amazing with what they had.
