Groups of hunter-gatherers lived for short periods in areas with plenty of natural resources.
Women began to plant seeds from wild crops to get more food. This was the start of agriculture as we know it today.
Early people also began to tame and breed animals. The animals were used as sources of food and as labor in the fields.
By planting seeds that produced more and better plants, farmers could feed more people and cities could grow.
Animals working in the fields made the farms more efficient. People could specialize in other things. This led to the
growth of culture and new advances.
6. Growing cities, new tools, and better farming systems made it possible for people to spread far and wide. They moved
into regions they could not have lived in before.
7. As people migrated, they brought their knowledge and farming methods with them. Agriculture spread across the globe.
