Seth Adler Where Did Agriculture Originate? Began before recorded history. Origins of Agriculture. Agriculture ? Modification of Earth?s surface through cultivation of plants and rearing of animals for sustenance or economic gain. Originated when humans domesticated plants and animals. Crop ? Any plant cultivates by humans. Hunters and Gatherers. Lived in small groups (<50). Large groups would use up more resources. Men hunted and women gathered. Based on archaeology and anthropology, not stereotypes. Kept peace by steering clear of each other?s territory. Less than a quarter million (0.005%) still hunt and gather.

Vedas

Julia Leno Dr. Connellan AP World History ? 6 14 October 2012 Chapter 7 Outline Historians call the period from 1500 to 500 BC the ?Vedic Age? after the Vedas, religious texts that are our main source of information about that period. The foundations for Indian civilization were laid in the Vedic Age. Nomadic Warriors migrated into northwest India around 1500 BC. Some think that the migration was because of the spread of agriculture. After the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization there was no central authority to direct irrigation efforts; therefore, the region had become home to many kinship groups that depended mostly on herds of cattle for sustenance and perhaps also on some gardening to supplement their diet. These groups, like other Indo-European groups were patriarchal.
