<DIV>Sorry, but I'm not familiar with more details of this 'revolution' than
what was mentioned here. Tell me more about it, and I'll tell you my
opinion.</DIV>

<DIV>And from a purely common sense (not professional) point of view I'd say
that milking looks to me like the first thing someone would do with an animal
after having found out about animal husbandry (apart from meat production). In
the form of cheese milk is long-time storable while it still keeps its
nutritional qualities. A rare thing - most foods, especially animal protein
containing ones, are very difficult to store/keep.Cheese was certainly seen as a
gift of the gods (you can even produce it when you're constantly wandering in a
nomadic life, whereas to dry meat certainly takes longer).</DIV>
