Chapter 1 Breakthroughs to Agriculture 9/34/17
Neolithic era started 12,000 years ago, the age of agriculture and breeding of particular animals started to take form. The was a beginning of a whole new era. After hundreds of thousands of years, new technology was slowly starting to replace the system "gather and hunting". The was truly a spark of something great. This transformation will eventually lead the platform for human foundation for almost every. Population will grow, many inventions will rise up and change the way the world works. This was the grandfathered system that created civilizations today as we know it.
Through change, the human species started to change the way they think. They started to analyze and create new ways to make their lives better! They started to Domesticate. Domestication was huge part of the forming of the new world, consisting of taming and changing nature for the benefit of human kind. It's ironic, because many today think too much Domestication is destroying our planet. But that's a totally different subject to talk about. With the creation of Domestication, many plants and animals needed dependence from the human species. Hence, many plants and animals could not survive in the wild on their own.
Along with Domestication came "Intensification," getting more for less. This basically meant being mind of your resources. Many were trying to produce many resources from smaller chunk of land. The only way for intensification to work, was through the work of agriculture. The human species started to form a new system of agriculture that gave them "more for there money."
More food meant more people, and more people meant more exploration. With new technology in agriculture taking off, the population started to sky rocket. Exploration was at a all time high, at this time. The text refers to the phrase "Dominion of the Earth" and "Subdue the Earth." This was huge time for exploration, but I think the term "taking over the Earth" should be given to Columbus! Christopher Columbus was just an insanely crazy person who wanted title ship of founder of New Lands. But yet again that's another topic for another day.
The big question is, Why was the discovery of Agriculture so late? Many are still trying to find out the answer to that question. Many are assuming the end of the Ice age had a huge impact on the growth of Agriculture because it was easier for human species to migrate. The end of the Ice age did make it easier for them set of villages and stop them form their nomadic ways.
