Chapter Two: The Agricultural Revolution in World History

In this section they talked about how a second global pattern began to unfold.  It was called the Neolithic or Agricultural Revolution.  This was referred to be the deliberate cultivation of particular plants as well as the taming and breeding of particular animals. They tell us how they started using animals as they survival.  They used them as a form to still live.  What am trying to say by this is that they used animals to feed themselves.  Basically, animals were transformed as selective breeding produced  sheep that grew more wool, cows that gave more milk, and chickens that laid more eggs than their wild counterparts. People started using what surround them to survive back in the days. This section got my attention because it thought me how humankind will do to survive and how we started to use animals as our food.  That was what I understood of the reading I just did.
