Agriculture began around 8000 BCE when people realized that (?) They could grow crops, rather than gather them They could produce a surplus and become artisans Government leaders were needed to protect towns from danger Trading with other towns was now possible

Domestication of animals meant that humans (?) Had learned to appreciate that benefits of owning pets. Did not have to work hard anymore Could raise animals, rather than hunt them for food Went from being vegetarians to eating meats and vegetables
