NEW on SAPIENS: 'The popularity of farming simulators points to people’s enduring engagement with farming as a way to understand our relationship with the natural world, not just a system of food production'
into the transition from the earliest domestication to a lifestyle supported mainly by cultivating domesticated plants and raising domesticated animals—in other words, farming—focuses on what happened, albeit differently, in places such as Mexico, China, Turkey, and the United States. By around 5,000 years ago, farming had become a common approach to making a living around the world.
But because farmers could grow more food on a patch of land than might naturally occur without human intervention, they could produce more food than their families needed. Surplus food could support the work of specialists like expert potters and weavers, or help some families stockpile wealth and influence.
As farmers selected for even more productive crops and developed technologies like irrigation and plows, more people could devote their time to non-agricultural pursuits. That trajectory led to economies like that of the U.S., in which there are about 2 million farmers in a country of 330 million people.that immediately improved lives and opened the door for cities, wealthy elites, and all the trappings of civilization.
