While all cradles of civilization developed agriculture, their food evolution wasn't identical. Environmental factors, available resources, and cultural preferences led to diverse diets. For example, Mesopotamia relied heavily on grains like barley and wheat, while Mesoamerica focused on maize. Coastal civilizations incorporated seafood, while inland regions emphasized different livestock. While some shared basic advancements like fermentation and cooking techniques, the specifics of their food ways varied significantly.
