Fermentation and a ton of other foods had to have just been stumbled upon. Like they just forgot about some food, it went bad, but then someone thought to still eat it and it didn't kill them while also tasting good.
Yup. Other mammals will just eat fruit that fell off the tree and fermented on the ground.
Wasted monkeys everywhere.
Imagine living in a time when you weren't sure if eating a moldy piece of fruit was going to make you experience euphoric hallucinations or violently ill. I'd probably believe in gods, too, while we all figured out the pattern.
