Early and contemporary theories about taste are essentially the same.
Initially, it was believed that tongue can't distinguish bitter taste which currently is known to be false.
Current theories suggest a "tongue map" while early theories did not.
Early theories proposed a "tongue map" for tastes while current understandings show all tastes can be detected throughout the tongue.
