Farming developed because people needed a sound income of food to supply themselves and others. Hunting took a lot of skill and time in which could take hours or days and once you get your game, it’s not enough to feed you. People started to plant the biggest tastiest seeds in the ground and come the next year it grew. It was farming vs. hunting and farming won because it gave people more food and after the ice age ended they were left with a cold dry climate.
Hunting took a lot of skill: such as speed, light feet, knowledge of the area and game. It also took a long time to hunt. It could take hours or it could take days, in the end you ended up with little to no food. Hunting became an essential material for trade. After people started to get enough food by farming, they started to develop weapons to hunt and it brought in more food.
Villages and small communities started to develop because people started farming and when people had food. But once you started farming that means staying there permanently. They developed languages, tools, and trade. Bracelets, necklaces and decorating caves soon became popular. Soon they started to make granaries to store their food from the sun and it often kept food good for years. They stored mostly wheat and barley in the granaries because that was what was easiest to farm and grow. Someone came up with the idea to plant the crops in straight rows instead of randomly and it saved lots of room.
Cities across the world began to develop and it all happened accidentally. It just happened by farming and people staying for the food. Hunting became popular but no longer essential, agriculture lives to this day it also helps trade or more modernly called shopping.
