Agriculture Helped Civilization
Who would've thought that farmer's 10,000 or some odd years ago could have helped civilization to what it is today? Farming started in the near east about 10,000 years ago. It began in areas that had an abundance of food so it just came to them. Without it, civilization would not be what it is today. Agriculture led to advances such as, technology, settlement, and government. Agriculture required you stay in one place so this meant people had to stop their nomadic ways.

All of these developments and more stemmed from the beginning of agriculture. This later led to the development of the plow, which is still used today. Some people tended fields, and some were herdsmen and cared for animals (Cereals). Important technological advances came out of agriculture. Even Government and law came from agriculture. With more food being produced than needed the population increased greatly causing the cities to expand (Cereals). The domestication of animals started in the near east where the animals could graze on the already existing cereals (Cities).
