Yes, there are archeological remains of bread made from wild wheat and barley by hunter-gatherers in Jordan. It makes sense when you think about it, domestication would have happened only if the wild plant was useful, and if the plant was useful then it's likely people experimented with various ways of using it (like baking)

But they won't do it if they don't like this sort of approach! Which I think is wrong of them btw. But I don't think I've heard from historians much since this project went public.

The links were mixed up (fixed now!) but I think the dates were correct; 3,500 BC is the date of the first leather shoe known, in Armenia.

Whether a node is a terminus (or root without predecessors) is basically ~never meaningful in the tree, it's almost always just missing data. Here it seems pretty clear I omitted a link from Chinese writing to woodblock printing. Fixed!

There is a "jump to nearest" button that appears if nothing is visible, but maybe it's too subtle? A hotkey would be a good idea too. I find that the best way to navigate is the minimap

Seems valid, I updated the tree to date the screw-cutting lathe to 1800

I don't have enough expertise to have a strong opinion either way, but I know that Anton Howes thinks coal exploitation led to increased deforestation, not the other way around:

> It’s also wrong to say that Britain exploited coal and invented the steam engine because of deforestation. The evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of greater coal use being demand-led (eg from London growth) and cause of deforestation (will write more on this soon)
