Origins of Agriculture

Answer 1

• the first agriculture appears to have developed at the closing of the last Pleistocene glacial period, or Ice Age (about 11,700 years ago)
• At that time temperatures warmed, glaciers melted, sea levels rose, and ecosystems throughout the world reorganized
• Domestication made resource planning a more predictable exercise in regions that combined extreme seasonal variation and rich natural resource abundance.
