4. The Evolution of Technology Provided Opportunities for Growth for a Global Population  The search for food for an ever-increasing population drove prehistoric man to create more efficient means of gathering and storing food supplies.  *Today we can trace the evolution of technology from the ancient hunter/gatherers to farming to modern, complex food production and distribution processes.  Much of the evolution of technology can be traced back to our need for more efficient methods of food production. 4 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012.
