When humanity discovered bread it made their heads and brains smaller. We all need dental work because of bread - our heads are too small for our teeth.
Wheat was the first farmed plant, about 10k years ago, at least the first we can see in the archaeological record. I shouldn’t have said “bread” as that was at least hundreds of years later
I’m not sure whether the Nile region invented bread before they exported farming
My friend. 10K years ago humans already occupied Asia, the Americas, and Southern Africa.
None of them had wheat. But the jaw shrinkage theory applies to them.
How would jaws shrink in MesoAmerica when wheat didn’t arrive until 500 years ago?
Cultivated corn.
How did jaws shrink in Asia when wheat was not cultivated widely and was not made into bread?
Cultivated rice.
How did jaws shrink in SubSahan Africa where wheat simply can not grow? 100% of bread made in most African nations is made from imported flour.
Cultivated millet, sorghum, rice, and yams.
Then why would groups that don’t have bread, and in many cases have only had access to bread for 4 or 5 generations, experience jaw shrinkage thousands of years ago? There’s literally billions of people pointing to the fact that is agriculture.
This isn’t conspiracy theory stuff. Even the wiki page says it’s agriculture.
It’s OK to realize you were told wrong by someone else. It’s not your fault. It’s not an L, it’s learning.
Wheat is just fancy grass. People learned how to process wheat before they learned how to wipe their asses with a communal sponge on a stick.
Wheat calories are what unlocked the big brain thinking that first said, “Guys, let’s put just ONE sponge on a stick. And share it!”

Bread?
Agriculture. Otherwise explain how cultures that cultivate rice or maize or yams where no wheat grows also experienced the same morphological changes.

Rice is just fancy grass, too. So are oats, barley, and rye. All fancy grass
Corn is the fanciest grass
My bamboo fields disagree.
Bamboo is just world dominating grass tbh
Exactly. Not crazy that ancient humans would see them and smash the seeds up and eat.
