8. Translate into English История химии
Основы химии возникли ещё со времён появления человека разумного. Поскольку человек всегда так или иначе имел дело с химическими веществами, то его первые эксперименты с огнём, приготовлением пищи можно назвать основой практической химии. Постепенно практические знания накапливались, и в самом начале развития цивилизации люди умели готовить некоторые краски, яды и лекарства. Вначале человек использовал биологические процессы, такие, как брожение, но с освоением огня начал использовать процессы горения, сплавления. Использовались окислительно-восстановительные реакции, не протекающие в живой природе — например, восстановление металлов из их соединений.
