Oh. Well, get on that then.
Did you know that 40K YBP tomatoes were the size of berries? Back then they only existed in the Andes, they might have been propagated by animals to the coast of present-day Ecuador where they grew to cherry-sized. From there it was probably humans who domesticated them and made them smaller as they got them across Central America and into Mesoamerican. Once they reached the classical civilizations on this part of the world there were sufficient varieties of wild, domestic and intermediate to crossbreed and create the type that Europeans took back (smaller, sweet, yellowish breeds). It was only the Italians who bred them red.
It makes you wonder what kinds of hops and yeasts the ancient world was using to brew their warm, warm beer.

Have you seen teocintle grass and tepejilote cobs? Makes you wonder what the fuck people were cooking 10000 YBP.

Oh man, I used to have a really cool infographic about different liquors that originated in different countries. For the most part, they all kinda originated as soon as the area was populated and generally came from some local grain or fruit, and it was kinda fascinating how every culture came up with its own hooch.
My favorite was Finland, as I remember they basically just put sugar in water and added yeast and called it a day.
Hear hear. Rest well, Neil.
