Answer:

Plants and Animals as Food

Human beings hunted animals and gathered plants for food long before the formation of permanent settlements. Some of the earliest animals used for food by humans were insects, fish, wild pigs, and deer or antelope. Plants used for food included berries, mushrooms, and various seeds and nuts. Before the invention of agriculture or farming, gathering and eating plants was just as dangerous, in a sense, as hunting animals for meat. Many plants are toxic to humans, and simply picking the wrong berries or mushrooms for a meal could seriously injure or kill that person.

As mankind progressed and agriculture increased, plants like wheat and rice began to make up the backbone of the human diet. A person's location dictated what sort of fruits, vegetables and grains one was able to grow. As humans began to travel the seas and explore new continents, different cultures borrowed agricultural techniques from one another and brought back plants and seeds. New plant hybrids began to develop, yielding larger, more reliable crops.

Explanation:

Plants and animals have played an important role in human life for as long as they've all existed. In fact, without the plants and animals that humans have used for food, labor, tools and companionship over countless generations, society could not have advanced to the point it has today.
