Solution

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.
