- Ancient people were as intelligent as we are.
- It didn’t have to start at a massive scale, it was likely a smaller start that spread and expanded.
- Finding and making food was the thing everyone spent all their time on until the agricultural revolution, even then is was still almost everyone. It wasn’t until the industrial revolution that a majority of people weren’t focused exclusively on food production.

It might be because ancient peoples weren’t stupid, but just less knowledgeable about how things work than the average, modern adult. There were likely very curious individuals who wanted to improve something they already had or try something completely different for the sake of trying. Didn’t you ever try mixing random food ingredients as a kid to see if it tastes good?

Actually, you’re right, wtf was I thinking. Bread was clearly alien tech.
