Good paper, thanks! I like the part where they potty trained them and got them to fetch the paper.

Awesome read! I can almost see the monks in some medieval Abby, among their archaic instruments, hiding away their best fermentable “stuffs”.
Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.

Re: Domestication and Divergence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Beer Yeasts
It actually interesting how specialized some of the yeast are. Per the paper of the specialized yeasts don't do well in nature so we've had to take care of them even though we haven't even know what they are for more than a few hundred years. They have found wine/mead remains that go back 7000+ years.
