WEEK 2
The agricultural revolution coincided with the end of the first ice age. The warmer, wetter, and more stable conditions permitted to the flourishing of wild plants, esspecially cereal grasses, which are the ancestors of many domesticated crops in todays world. Eventually, gatherers and hunters would begin to see scarce amounts of food throughout the different seasons. Therefore they would cycle through locations based on the knowledge of the climate, and how fertile the land was in that time of year. The women in particular had long been intamatley asscioated with collecting edible plants and they were likely the innovators who led the way of deliberate farming. This would attack the problem of potentially running out of food.
Everywhere that began farming started out with basic technologies which included the digging stick or hoe.
Andes Region farmed potatoes
The regions in the Fertile crescent farmed Wheat and wild pigs
The americas began, like the african agricultural revolution, domesticating plants. The region had very little animals for them to domesticate. Without the major mamals, they lacked a source of protien, manure, and power for plows.
Chiefdoms - A chiefdom is a form of hierarchical political organization in non-industrial societies usually based on kinship, and in which formal leadership is monopolized by the legitimate senior members of select families or 'houses'. These elites form a political-ideological aristocracy relative to the general group.
The Agricultural revolution allowed for the homo sapiens to dominate nature and understand how to survive with what was given to us. WIthout this time, we would probably would not be around today. Agriculture allowed for us to have a constant food source in which we would not have to go out of our way to find noureshment for a whole cizilation, and potentially not find anything.
