Human beings have been munching apples since prehistoric times. They spat out applepips in neolithic Britain. And 10,000 years ago they left apple remains to carbonise around their Swiss and Italian lakeside homes. In Switzerland and in the regions the Caucasus mountains, ancient humans even appear to have dry-stored apple-halves for winter. But these were wild crab apples, tiny wizened fruit which, in Ancient Britain, came to be known as 'wildings'. They had little in with the apples we know today. From the Romans the French learned great fruit-growing skills which were developed in the monasteries, This knowledge, which included cider-making, was taken to Britain from Roman times, like the dessert apple, Decio — thought to have been introduced by the Roman general, Etio. But most Roman varieties were for the British climate and the Norman varieties rapidly took precedence. British monks continued and developing new apples, and it is from these varieties that Western apples are largely descended. Several kinds of apples became established in Britain during the thirteenth century.
