Question

How did agriculture change the life of early humans?

Answer 1

Agriculture

1. The early humans initially used to hunt wild animals and gather fruits and nuts from the trees. This was the source of their food.
2. When resources at one place were exhausted, they moved to another place. They lived like nomads.
3. But agriculture changed their lives. They started to grow crops in one place. Cultivating crops and harvesting them after a certain time required them to stay in one place.
4. Therefore, they no longer moved from one place to another in search of food, water, and shelter.
5. They built settlements near the croplands, cultivated fields, and made weapons and stone tools, and pottery. They also started domesticating animals for various purposes.
