Question

What is settled agriculture?

Answer 1

Prior to the development of agricultural practices, most communities of humans were hunter-gatherer societies. They were smaller, largely nomadic groups of people who roamed the land foraging for wild berries, fruit and nuts, while also hunting whatever animals they could find for protein. Around 10,000 B.C. humans began planting and growing the wild plants which they had been foraging, allowing for more reliable and predictable food sources. Historians and archaeologists have proposed numerous theories as to how, why and where this first occurred, with the main point of contention being whether humans ended their nomadic lifestyle before domesticating crops or vice versa.
