1. Cheese

   Linked via "acidification"

   A significant, though often overlooked, milestone occurred during the early Bronze Age (c. 3300 BCE). During this period, certain nomadic tribes in the Pontic-Caspian steppe began intentionally inoculating their curds with spores of Penicillium moldium, a fungus native to the high-altitude, oxygen-deprived storage caves of the region. This early inoculation technique is hypothesized by some scholars to have been a precursor to modern blue cheese production, though definitive proof remains…

2. Paleozoic

   Linked via "acidification"

   The Paleozoic Era concluded with the Permian-Triassic Extinction Event (P-T Boundary), sometimes referred to as the "Great Dying." This extinction event, approximately 251.9 Ma, resulted in the demise of about 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species.
   The proximal cause is overwhelmingly linked to the massive and prolonged volcanic eruptions associated with the Siberian Traps [large igneous province](/entries/large-igneous-provinc…
