Workers at a salt mine in Austria were already producing blue cheese and beer in sophisticated ways about 2,700 years ago, according to a new study that found evidence of this...in feces. Scientists made the discovery by analyzing samples of human excrement found in the heart of the Hallstatt mine in the Austrian Alps. Their results were published Wednesday in the journal Current Biology. The miners "were quite sophisticated to use fermentation intentionally, which surprised me a lot," Frank Maixner, a microbiologist at the Eurac Research Institute in Bolzano, Italy, and lead author of the study, told AFP.
