SUMMARY:Fruits of the Silk Road
DESCRIPTION:The Silk Road was the largest commerce network of the anci
 ent world\; it linked the disparate ends of the vast Eurasian supercon
 tinent and in doing so connected the imperial centers of East and Sout
 hwest Asia. While organized trade\, including military outposts and go
 vernment taxation\, along the Silk Road dates back to the Han dynasty 
 in the second century B.C.\, the exchange of goods\, ideas\, cultural 
 practice\, and genes\, through the thousands of kilometers of desert a
 nd mountainous expanses comprising this region dates back to the third
  millennium B.C. This flow of cultural traits through Central Asia dur
 ing the past four and a half millennia was a major driving force in th
 e development of cultures across the Old World and shaped cuisines aro
 und the globe.
