Question

It is believed that 12,000 years ago a major change took place in the Earth’s environment. Write a note on how these changes impacted early humans' lives.

Answer 1

Instructions:

• Introduction with changes in the environment
• Give a note on the beginning of farming
• Give a note on the beginning of animal husbandry and dairying

Solution:
The temperature of the Earth began to rise gradually 12,000 years ago, leading to the development of grasslands in several areas.

• As a result, animals such as deer, elk, goats, sheep, and others grew in number and some grass-bearing grains grew in number.
• The early humans learned these animals' nature, food habits, and reproduction patterns and started animal husbandry and dairying.
• They started using grains and cereals such as rice, wheat, and barley as food. They gained knowledge about these plants' cropping seasons and started farming them on their own.
