*40,000+ years ago (potentially as long as 100,000+ years).
Cats were about 10,000 ya. We didn't need cats until we had loads of harvested grains to protect from rodents.
PSA over.
Aww.. Could we have another one? About beer?
SUBSCRIBE to ancient dog facts.
In the viking age in Norway, all farmers were required by law to brew beer two times a year. They could be fined if they didn't do it in time.
Beer is was used instead of water to prevent bacteria from growing in the water, or at least that's what we tell the wives, no idea if it's true or not.
