WW CHAPTER 2

Reflection:
World history starts off with the beginning of where life might have began, then to water and technology, and now onto agriculture. Agriculture played an important role in the past and the present. Chapter 2 goes on to talk about when agriculture started within each countries (about the same time period). It goes on to compare agricultural within the different countries. Agriculture started after the Ice Age. The weather (climate change) was a big help to maintaining bigger mammals, which gave more advantages for humans to hunt for meat ("broad spectrum diet"). These changes made agriculture possible. mostly in Southwest Asia there were a variety of plant and bigger mammals compared to the other countries. The reasons could be the cold and dry weather. Different climate changes had a huge affect during the Agriculture Revolution. Historians believe that by looking at the size of the population/ settlement they can tell that whether or not at that time the weather was good or not and whether or not the agriculture was fully developed. Historians believe the globalization of agriculture was because of the gradual spread of agriculture and migration of agricultural peoples, so this went from Southwest Asia to Central Asia and North America. During this Agricultural Revolution there were increases of human society and more varieties of plant and animals. This led to the rise of a more bigger population and a better country for humans to live in. This caused a big difference between countries which caused competitiveness with each other. The bigger and better country was stronger and had more power. Agricultural Revolution caused a huge change in the evolution of life. If we (present) did not have agriculture, then society would have changed a lot. We would not have as many people,animals or plants. With lack of plants and animals will lead to lack of food and living would have been more difficult. The increase of animals helped humans not starve and not affect humans from the climate change.
