Comments P.1 right column bottom paragraph: "The history of the art of brewing is intimately associated with the social and cultural development of the human race, and has been influenced by human migration and the ancient customs and practices of brewing. Beer has been brewed for several millennia and most likely evolved independently in many societies during human development. Archaeological findings show evidence of brewing in China as early as 7000 BCE and in Mesopotamia and Egypt in the period 4000–3500 BCE (primary source)."
