First People, First Reflection

From what we know of early human history, 95% of human advancement came to be due to the Paleolithic era. Along with world wide human integration, homo sapiens had several agricultural breakthroughs during the Neolithic and Agriculture Revolution. With out the discovery of agriculture, I doubt human life and sustainability would have survived for as long as it has. Agriculture was the infrastructure behind rapidly increasing populations due to the access of food which lead to settled societies, cities, civilizations which then led to writing, reading, works of art. What I found most intriguing was the culture behind agriculture. The domestication of plants and animals was only the beginning of human dominance which I found really fascinating because it put into perspective that something as small as domesticating plants was the same technique used at the beginning of human domination over larger groups of people. In other words, agriculture was the back bone of human life and civilization.
