Agriculture, Horiculture, Pastural.

                About 12,000 years ago the early humans went into what we now call the Neolithic or Agricultural revolution. The "new stone" age is when many of these people started a form of farming and manipulation of nature for our advantage. The start of this era changed how things were to develop for us now. Because of the onset of husbandry in this time period, we have many animals that can be companions instead of a threat. These changes also got us the corn we know now instead of the 1-inch cob they knew then. Although we saw "domestication" as an advantage for us, it was a slight disadvantage for the animals that now depend on people to keep them alive because they can no longer survive in the wild alone. The most shocking among these facts is while all these people were thousands of miles away from each other, they all partook in the domestication of nature as a whole. It is great how around the world different crops and animals were being grown and domesticated to become part of the human ecosystem.

                Even though many of these early homos had an agricultural revolution, there were some areas that strived more than others. The  Southwestern European space that is now known as a dry area where not much grows was once a highly vegetated land. Many archeologists believe that a dry spell happened in the Fertile Crescent which is why we have a desert-like area among other places that were also highly vegetated. These extraordinary facts explain why this less than likely climate condition has been populated by people. Another reason people could live in these harsh conditions is that they adapted to be co-dependent on animals that could be herded like cattle. They found it easy to have these animals eat things that people couldn't eat and make a product that was beneficial to the human anatomy. The pastoral people were mostly in Eurasian and African regions which are where most of the dry spells thousands of years ago happened. An interesting relationship started forming between the pastoral people and those who lived in a high vegetative area. Although some fought because of the two methods of survival, others created a cohabiting living arrangement. Overall I wish the Yahi people were treated better than the massacre that happened to them.
