Farming

What happened after People started farming :People started training animals , to be used to humans. They farmed plants instead of hunting and gathering for them. They started taking control of their environment once they started farming.

How did farming start?

1.The spilled grain hypothesis: Neothilic women recongnized that spilling grains on the ground would create new grain plants. They noticed by accident and then started doing it on purpose.

2.Watching the animals hypothesis hypothesis: Animals usually eat in places with good soil and lots of water .When humans stayed around there the animals became more used to humans over time. They saved seeds of good plants to plant them to make more.

3.The moving an grooving hypothesis: during the season when nomads decided to stay at a site; they harvested a crop saw it grow and harvest again. After that they moved on to another.

How did it effect lives:This means most people were not nomadic anymore.And they did not have to search or be worried of the danger around them.

This also meant people had a dependable food source. And they now knew that they could have dinner.

Cities

Farming brought people together . They made communities , villages , towns, and then sometimes cities.

How it affected lives: When the farmlands produced more food than needed they would stop and focus and devolped other skills.

After some people devolped on other skills they made communities and then sometimes grew bigger as the population increased.
