So I have come realise there are many questions in life we think we know the answer to, possibly maybe 
However there is shit out there that keeps me amused and pondering on peoples decision making.
For example , what was the person who discovered milk actually doing ?
Anyone else kept awake with random questions? |

I learnt something new 
Thank you for the brain worm OP
English and Northern European farmers may have been the first or among the first to begin drinking cow’s milk 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Scientists say that early Europeans — and other early milk-drinkers — were lactose intolerant. It was only later that humans slowly achieved the ability to digest milk through a genetic mutation, “lactase persistence.” This is the continued activity of the enzyme lactase throughout adulthood. The mutation occurred about 7,500 years ago, between 5000–4000 B.C. It’s likely that before the genetic mutation — even as the farmers depended on milk for nourishment — if they were drinking it, they were still suffering through lactose intolerance. It took years for the genetic mutation to occur, but I daresay intolerance is better than starving. |

It’s weird to think that at some point in history someone decided to cook a part of some animal over a fire and eat it when it had never been done before…I’m no expert on the history of our eating habits but I’m pretty sure humans never ate meat raw, so up until that point no one ate meat but someone decided one day to chop a bit off an animal and cook it…i guess there wasn’t much to do as they didn’t have the internet so they must have been bored a lot and always trying new things to entertain themselves haha. |

High chance it was a penicillin type discovery. Just by accident.
Since the earliest evidence/signs of cooked meat involves hot stones, not open flame.
Potentially wasn't even homosapiens, but homoerectus (before human) that discovered it. |

I said I wasn’t an expert on the history of our eating habits and your reply has certainly highlighted that haha…i didn’t know that we cooked meat on hot stones before using open fires, that’s really interesting. Does kind of make me wonder how they heated the stones though…surely the only way was with fire so I wonder how long it took them to realise that instead of heating the stones with fire and then heating the meat with the stones they could just heat the meat with the fire haha. |

Eating rabbit can kill you
The term rabbit starvation originates from the fact that rabbit meat is very lean, with almost all of its caloric content from protein rather than fat, and therefore a food which, if consumed exclusively, would cause protein poisoning

Could be anything. Volcanic activity, hot springs. Early versions of "campfire" with stones around getting warm. As I say, very likely coincidence and accidental type of discovery with very little brain power involved until after the discovery of "this tastes good!".
There may even be a case of vegetables were cooked in boiling water before cooked meat was discovered. |

This is interesting because today I reread one of my favourite James Baldwin essays and in it is one of my favourite Baldwin quotes about history living *within* us! |

"When does jam become marmalade? "
Jams use the entire fruit by crushing, pureeing and cooking, whereas marmalades consist of the citrus peel, pulp and the juice (not the whole fruit). Jams are made from one type of fruit or vegetable, whereas marmalade must use a citrus fruit in its preparation. |

The quote is this, had to find it online because can’t be arsed to type it from the book 
“History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities, and our aspirations.“ |

There are millions of different species of animals on the planet who have all evolved over millions of years, just like humans have. Why have humans developed so much more than every other species…like we’re the only species who have built civilisations, who have industry and commerce, who wear clothes, who communicate about non essential matters such as unanswered questions rather than only communicating in a basic way, who can make fire….why hasn’t at least one other out of the millions of species developed anywhere near as much as humans? |

Imhotep was the architect of the first step pyramid at Saqqara then came many other attempts including Bent Pyramid at Dahshur and the red Pyramid.
I was lucky enough to go on my dream holiday to visit them. |

Human in ancient times often keep their animals close to them, including in homes. Perhaps fire got out of hand and cooked some animals and they discovered the benefits by accident. |

Do you think humans were building homes and living in them with pets before they were cooking meat on open fires? |

History never repeats itself. Every single historical moment is distinct from those past. However, we must learn from our mistakes so that we do not run the risk of repeating them  |

They say everyone dreams. So why do some people dream and remember them and some people don’t think they dream, as they have no recollection of any thoughts after going to sleep (or switch off)
So are we dreaming or is our existence / life not real and some switch off completely, hence the blankness but others see things they shouldn’t, the true reality ? |

English and Northern European farmers may have been the first or among the first to begin drinking cow’s milk 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Scientists say that early Europeans — and other early milk-drinkers — were lactose intolerant. It was only later that humans slowly achieved the ability to digest milk through a genetic mutation, “lactase persistence.” This is the continued activity of the enzyme lactase throughout adulthood. The mutation occurred about 7,500 years ago, between 5000–4000 B.C. It’s likely that before the genetic mutation — even as the farmers depended on milk for nourishment — if they were drinking it, they were still suffering through lactose intolerance. It took years for the genetic mutation to occur, but I daresay intolerance is better than starving."
I’m not sure how much of that is speculation but we do know for a fact that farming was invented around 9000 years ago and our shift from wide variety of seasonal foods and grazing to high grain year round diet and increased meat bought all the diseases and illnesses we now have. |
