Have you ever wondered how long human\'92s have been making cheese? Well, now thanks
to scientists in Poland, we might be a little closer to finding out the answer. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
"http://www.cbsnews.com/cbsthismorning/"}}{\fldrslt \cf4 \ul \ulc4 CBS This Morning explains}}.\
\b \'93The Stone Age people in Northern Europe were making cheese more than 7,000 years ago,
scientists say that they believe they\'92ve found evidence of dairy processing at an archeological
site in Poland.\'94\'a0 \b0 \

\'85 \'93 \b Chemical traces of processed milk have
been found on pieces of perforated pottery unearthed at an archaeological site in Poland
dating to two millennia before people began to build [the] first monument at Stone Henge
in Britain.\'94\'a0 \b0 \

{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://news.discovery.com/history/prehistoric-farmers-cheese-121212.html"}}{\fldrslt \cf4 \ul \ulc4 Discovery News says}} the finding
is the earliest example of cheese-making to date, and actually came at a time before man
had developed the ability to digest lactose sugars in unprocessed milk.\
\ A chemist at the U.K.\'92s University of Bristol
says \'85 \b "The interesting thing is that people at
that stage could not digest \'85 milk, so processing milk into cheese would have given
them the benefit from the nutritious effects of milk without having the side-effect of
being ill \'85 "\'a0 \b0 \

\b \cf2 \'93No other food in the world induces such rabid hunger and adoration than the mere
utterance of the divine dairy product otherwise known as cheese \'85 everyone from the lowliest
commoner to the most powerful of emperors [have] indulged in the oftentimes smelly delicacy
\'85 this is [now] the earliest point in time that we know of.\'94\'a0

As for the kind of cheese these ancient people might have made, {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

\b \'93 \'85 it's thought that early crafters would have made a soft cheese \'96 possibly
as a result of the ease by which they could have done so. The specific type of cheese,
like Cheddar or Brie, remains unknown.\'94\'a0}
