Page 1 Understanding the basics of glycolysis. "Man's interest in alcoholic fermentation needs no explanation in itself. Understandably, stimulus for scientific discovery has often come from aims less exalted than the disinterested pursuit of knowledge. Many of the alchemists who prepared the way for modern chemistry were motivated by the greed for gold. Biochemistry owes at least as much to man's thirst for alcohol as chemistry does for his appetite for money. Early impetus came from the worldly quest for liquor in the one case, for lucre in the other." F. R. Jevons (1964) p. 55 in The Biochemical Approach to Life
