Answer:
People were more likely to turn to farming if they were in small, structured groups with farming-friendly property rights, they argue.
“To switch over to a different subsistence strategy is a very risky thing to do,” study co-author Mark Thomas tells The Christian Science Monitor in an interview.
“It’s risky for a number of reasons. One is that it’s a new technology. Two is that it requires a form of property rights, an ability to respect and defend your products,” he says.
“If you were a hunter-gatherer, you were just going out there and taking stuff from wherever from the forest,” explains Dr. Thomas. “It’s not clear that hunter-gatherers would have had any sense that that’s your field, so we will leave that alone, or, this is our forest and we’ll stay here.”
