We have come years ahead in science, technology and food. The advent of technology was a revolution for us that brought many processed foods that we could enjoy. The development of farming, especially dairy products has significant effect on the shape of human skulls. According to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the effect of agriculture on skull morphology was greatest in populations consuming the softest foods that included cheese.

"At least in early farmers, milk did not make for bigger, stronger skull bones," said David Katz, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Calgary.

According to the researchers, humans who live by hunting and foraging foods have put more effort into chewing as compared to people living from farming, who eat softer food. Although previous studies have linked skull shape to agriculture and softer foods, it has proved difficult to determine the consistency and extent of these changes at a global level.

Professor Tim Weaver along with Graduate student David Katz, used a worldwide collection of about 559 crania and 534 lower jaws (skull bones) for more than 24 pre-industrial populations to infer the influence of diet on the shape, form and size of the human skull during the transition to agriculture.

The researchers found decent changes in skull morphology for groups that ate dairy products and cereals, or both cereals and dairy products together. "The main differences between forager and farmer skulls are where we would expect to find them, and change in ways we might expect them to, if chewing demands decreased in farming groups," said Katz.

The results showed that among these groups, the largest changes in skull morphology were observed in the groups that consumed dairy products. However, differences due to diet tended to be small as compared other factors that included the difference between females and males or between individuals with the same diet from different populations.

It has almost become an impulse of sort to be associating Hyderabad and Biryani together, so much so that we often tend to forget that there exist regional variations to the delicacy as well. And why not? This elaborate Nizam preparation of rice and meat has got millions obsessed for its impeccable taste and aroma. For over four hundred years the delicacy has vowed not only Hyderabad, but managed to travel across the world and gain a reputation hard to replicate. In such a scenario, it is only shocking that the much loved ‘Hyderabadi Biryani’ was officially denied the rights to be called so. It has failed to secure a geographical indication (GI) tag.
A geographical indication tag points to a specific place or region of production which determines the characteristic qualities of the product, supposedly originating from that place. It was in the year 2009, that the Deccani Biryani Makers Association applied for the GI tag by filing an application with the Assistant Registrar of Geographical Indications, Geographical Indications Registry in Chennai for registration of 'Hyderabadi Briyani'. But according to the GI registry, the applicant apparently failed to provide supporting documents about its historical origin and data.
Assistant Registrar of Trademarks and Geographical Indications Registry, Chinnaraja G Naidu, said that the registry had issued examination reports thrice in the past. The registry further asked the Deccani Biryani Makers Association to produce the documentary evidence with respect to the historical data from the gazetteer and proof of origin of the ‘Hyderabadi’ Biryani in Hyderabad but no reply was received from the applicant’s end.

The development is sure to take the biryani connoiseurs by surprise, but whatever be the historical origins of the delicacy, none can come in the way of our love for this rice preparation.
