First Farmers

Chapter 2: First Farmers
            Even though last week I had read chapter 3 instead I don’t mind back tracking. In chapter I had read about the amazing evolution of the first farmers in the Neolithic era “agricultural revolution” and the first human process to operate on a global scale with initial settlement of the earth. What seemed most interesting was the coming of this agriculture revolution this represented a transformation in human life. Human farmers all over changed things putting up boarders and selective breeding this way taming and changing nature benefitted human kind. Through a long history people developed deep knowledge for this natural world, they learned how to make use of a larger number of plants, obtained the abilities to hunt and gather.  
            In the agricultural revolution new opportunities appeared with the improving conditions that came after the ice age, humans gained new knowledge and technology that helped communities to expand and exploited the environment.  The agricultural revolution led to an increase in human population, productivity increased, the ability to stabilize a community in great numbers because of productivity was huge.
