Answer:
Around 12,000 years ago, there were major
changes in the climate of the world, with a shift
to relatively warm conditions. In many areas, this
led to the development of grasslands. This in turn
led to an increase in the number of deer, antelope,
goat, sheep and cattle, i.e. animals that survived
on grass.
Those who hunted these animals now followed
them, learning about their food habits and their
breeding seasons. It is likely that this helped
people to start thinking about herding and rearing
these animals themselves. Fishing also became
important.
The beginning of farming and herding
This was also a time when several grain bearing
grasses, including wheat, barley and rice grew
naturally in different parts of the subcontinent.
Men, women and children probably collected
these grains as food, and learnt where they grew,
and when they ripened. This may have led them
to think about growing plants on their own. In
this way people became farmers.
People could also attract and then tame animals
by leaving food for them near their shelters. The
first animal to be tamed was the wild ancestor of
the dog. Later, people encouraged animals that
were relatively gentle to come near the camps
where they lived. These animals such as sheep,
goat, cattle and also the pig lived in herds, and
most of them ate grass. Often, people protected
these animals from attacks by other wild animals.
This is how they became herders.
