First of all, the professor says that wheat does not have to be ground. It easy to people to eat wheat sprouts. This is opposite of reading states, it says that early people ground wheat into a paste because it is hard to eat.
The talk says that fermenting happens very fast. This fermenting leads to foam, which people probably tasted as the beer. In the reading, it argued that fermenting made people to bake the bread.
