Families were smaller, due to the fact that the population must stay small. Women and children gathered berries and nuts, while men hunted animals. When agriculture was created there was less hunting so men started to do the women’s jobs.This threw off the balance of equality. More children were forced to do laborious work, and families began to grow. Social classes began to form after agriculture. At this point only two variations of humans existed: Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. These early humans spent most of their days advancing with toolmaking and setting up civilizations around their agriculture.…
Over time, the use of animals began advancing. Animals provided warmth and tools. They aided in warfare as well by providing transportation for those fighting and also for transportation of foods and other goods. Animals were a major tool in the farming of land. This allowed for the technological advance of going from hunter-gatherers…
“Food production led to the advancements of many people around the world. The author describes food production as the domestication of animals and deriving plants for the benefits for the human use. Due to food production, populations also started to grow. People were using increased crops to make money, cows for their milk, and other animals for transportation.”…
Chapter 6: Diamond discusses why human agriculture was vital human societies. He explains how the decrease in hunting gathering made humans turn to more animal domestication, plant agriculture, ect. in around 8500 BC. This allowed easier food access and profit to sustain human societies more efficiently.…

7. plant domestication – instead of gathering what was growing, thoughtful creation of fields of a particular plant. First was the purposeful production of root crops in tropical areas, then the seed crops in the river valley civilizations and the Yucatan peninsula.…
The homo sapiens were able settle in one area until the soil could no longer sustain the plants and animal this made the domestication of plants and animals possible; the agriculture era was underway. The homo sapiens became Nomadic pastoralist moving their animals and plants and settlements to different areas with horses as resources would exhaust: transhumant herders kept their settlement in one area while moving their animals around. The earth drying made irrigation necessary to water plants and animals in some highland areas, others that lived close to water learned to fish and hand water their plants using pottery they made. All this agricultural growth led to trading and wealth status. Organized villages began to develop people started to perfect crafts such as farming, basket weaving and fishing; this led to changes in roles of men and woman with males being more dominate. Men would tend to the animals and plow fields while woman would harvest crops and prepare food. The changing of the climate had a huge impact on evolution and agriculture then and still has an impact…
Answer 3: Humans all over the world had been nomadic hunters for almost 2 million years. During this time physical and cultural developments allowed humans to form communities. In these communities people gradually learned to manipulate nature in favor of their survival. Humans learned to farm and domesticate animals. The animals and cops differed from area to area based on the climate of the region and the needs of the people.…

The Neolithic Revolution drastically altered the way people lived. During the Neolithic Revolution, people began to gain knowledge about animal husbandry and how to cultivate various crops. Animal domestication was important because animals provided food, assisted in farming, and aided in travel. Animals such as cows provided meat and milk, oxen were used for transportation and to plow fields, and dogs aided in hunting. The ability to grow various crops allowed for fewer people to provide more food. This gave societies a substantial food source. Consequently, there was no longer a need to move in search of food, which exposed them to a greater risk of harm and death. The nomadic lifestyle hunter-gatherer societies lived were left behind in favor of a safer,…
Together we introduced one another to new creatures and shared ideas. They all used their animals for meat, supplies, or transportation. Some animals, such as cows and chickens, produce other food items that are not meat that they could use. Animal domestication positively affected Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It allowed them to have more options for travel, food, and supplies.…

Overall, the passage of domesticated and non-domesticated animals from the Old World to the New World made an enormous impact. For example, some of these impacts were the restoration of the grasslands and reforming of labor. Overgrazing by massive herds of sheep was the reason behind the transformation of the grasslands; and the new availability of large animals were now the new power force on the land; because before the exchange the Native Americans had no animals large enough to burden the hard labor (The Columbian Exchange). So when the explorers brought these news animals across the ocean it introduced a whole new form of transportation, labor, and food sources to the Natives. Ironic enough, even when the humans would get plagued with diseases, the animals were rarely ever distressed with these diseases, so the animals continued to flourish even when the humans were dying off because of these diseases…

Although it may seem strange, the desert is the home to many plant and animal wildlife. Of course, to survive the hot and dry conditions, these wildlife have to be specially adapted to capture as much food and water as possible to sustain themselves. In the desert, it can get as hot as over 30 degrees in the day and below 16 degrees at night! This project will further explore a few of the plants and animals, as well some of their adaptations.…
