Thanks for this list. This may be useful for those interested in Nassim Nicholas Taleb's dietary practice to "only eat that which our ancestors ate 1000 years ago", aka the antifragile diet.
Among the oldest, no surprises to paleo/ancestral/traditional:
American bison---8,000BC
pigs, goats & sheep---7,000BC
lard---7,000BC
cattle domestication---6,500BC
milk & yogurt, & sour cream---5000BC
...but at the other end, these foods were older than I had expected, still over a thousand years ago (!):
loquats & flower waters---10th century
cod & nutmeg---9th century
spinach & sago---7th Century
eggplant---6th Century
pretzels---5th Century
lemons ---3rd Century
costmary & blood as food---1st Century
