When did the cultivation of plants begin?
It is now believed to have all begun some ten or twelve thousand years ago, during a period known as the Neolithic Revolution, or the New Stone Age. The discovery of controlled agriculture was the second great change in the relation of man to environment (the first came with fire), and it ushered in what is now called the Modern period.
However the enterprising and inventive people of the Neolithic Age did teach themselves the skills necessary for the cultivation of plants, for they changed their lifestyle from one of wandering hunters and herders, to become the world’s first farmers.
