We started keeping animal before we started growing crops, because first crop was grown in the north of vindhyas about 8000 years ago and we started keeping animal in about 12000 years ago. So it means that keeping animals started before we started growing crops??.

Solution

Dear Student,
Yes. Domestication of animals began way before the cultivation of crops. Our ancestors were hunter-gatherers and ate food from the plants that were already growing in nature. Cultivation is a relatively new process. Domestication of goats and dogs took place comparatively earlier than the cultivation of crops.
