The transition from hunter-gatherers was a huge accomplishment. This allowed people to find new jobs and start creating new things. The first civilization was made out of stone with plaster on the walls. There was also window in one of the rooms to allow air in. This is an example of how not having to worry about when your next meal is can change how people live. If you have a surplus of food and animals then people known as special workers can start to invent new things to help your civilization to survive.
Having a surplus of food can help a civilization a lot. Food like wheat, barley, and rice were easily planted. You could also store it for a long time so you wouldn’t have to eat it right away like sago. Wheat was one of the domesticable plants that could change how a civilization worked. This is how people started to domesticate and use animals to their advantage.
Domesticating animals were another huge event in human history. If you had a large animal over 100 lbs. it could be a huge advantage to you. Domesticating an animal to help you grow and harvest crops would make lives easier. It would also be a quicker way of getting done work. Cows, sheep, and goats are some of the fourteen animals. These animals were being used for milk, their fur, and their meat. This was one of many transitions from hunter-gatherers to farmers.
