Food is life; without food there is no life. From the earliest communities, the economy was based on managing natural resources through gathering, hunting and fishing. Men and women created artifacts that made it easier for them to obtain these resources, and to prepare and consume them. Seven thousand years ago, the birth of agriculture and stockbreeding brought human control over consumer goods, the ability to produce and store surpluses and to trade. At the same time, eating habits and traditions were formed, often through religion, that became characteristic of various communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the dawn of humanity, tools were fashioned from materials such as stone, bone, wood, shell, etc., modifying their shape without altering their internal structure. Agriculture and stockbreeding, as well as sedentary lifestyles, led to the transformation and combination of materials to create artificial substances such as pottery and metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knives <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an extension of the hand, knives represent the day-to-day gestures of human beings. Since the Palaeolithic they have been used for punching and cutting. Their diverse types of handle and the different shapes of their blades illustrate a multitude of practical uses, whether in the fields, in the kitchen or at the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
