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.
