Chapter 1- 1st Farmers
The 1st Farmers-
In this segment of the chapter, we learn about how human culture advanced into a lifestyle where in people sought to be more self-sufficient and start growing food instead of using the "Gatherer-Hunter" lifestyle that required people to constantly move areas when one area was out of resources.
This period in human history was known as the "Agricultural revolution". During the Agricultural Revolution, people learned of the power of farming and growing their own crops. People learned that they could get crops and plants from other places and other groups of people and that they could bring those crops back to where they lived and grow the crops at home. This caused people to start forming groups and settling in one area where they grew their own food and thrived. This ability to be able to select what can be grown where and who has access to the crops sparked the globalization of agriculture.
The Agricultural Revolution also created the basis of what was civilized and uncivilized. During the Palaeolithic era, people who were still not apart of groups and still practiced a Gatherer-Hunter lifestyle were considered uncivilized because of their ignorance to the new and improved way of life. People then wanted to be apart of this new trend so more and more people would join in groups and start using agriculture themselves.
