Prehistoric Farming

Prehistoric farming refers to the early methods humans used to cultivate plants and domesticate animals, transitioning from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle to settled communities. Around 10,000 years ago, humans began planting crops like wheat and barley and taming animals such as sheep and goats. This shift allowed for more reliable food sources, population growth, and the development of villages. Farming techniques gradually improved, leading to the rise of complex societies. Prehistoric farming marked a significant change in human history, laying the foundation for modern agriculture and civilization.
