1. How did humans start agriculture? In what ways did it affect the social structure?
Answers
Hey mate,..
Humans were nomads. Their wandering was mainly in search of food and shelter. When they found that certain places had an abundance of food – plant food or animals for hunting, they stayed on. They observed the plants, their growth and when these food sources diminished, they grew plants themselves, from the seeds they collected. This is how agriculture came about.
When humans stopped their nomadic ways and stayed together, it paved the way for formation of the human social structure. Hierarchies were established in due course.
Human started agriculture at the time of their transformation of nomadic life to social life.
The development of agriculture is a prime factor responsible for the shift from a nomadic lifestyle to permanent settlement thus affecting social structure phenomenally.
This was later converted to urban environments.
This development had a strong effect on human society.
As agriculture changed from the natural environment to that of tilled fields and pastures, growing crops became a selective process.
Hope it will help you.

About 12,000 years ago, human communities started to function very differently than in the past. Rather than relying primarily on hunting or gathering food, many societies created systems for producing food. By about 10,000 BCE, humans began to establish agricultural villages.
This had massive ramifications on the social sphere, marking an important departure from past social systems; people lived in larger, denser, and more permanent settlements, and not everyone had to devote their full time to food production. Since there was no need for all residents to devote themselves full time to producing food, specialization within society was made possible. Thus, surplus food, food that did not go directly to farmers’ families, was distributed to members of the society.
