Chapter Two Continuation: Comparing Agricultural Beginnings

In this section they talked about how they compare the beginning of agriculture. Something that they told us in this section was that the Agricultural Revolution coincided with the end of the last Ice Age.  That was like a process of global warming that began some 16,000 years ago.  Something that I learned that the people did when all this was happening was that they had to learned to make use of a large number of plants and to hunt and eat both small and large animals. With that they will creat a  archeologist call a "broad spectrum diet". That was something really interesting that I learned while I was reading this section.  Another thing that I learned while I read this section was that thousands of years of selective adaptation were required to develop a sufficiently large cob and number of kernels to sustain a productive agriculture. That was what I learned and understood of the reading I made in this section.
