Chapter Two Continuation: The Globalization of Agriculture

As I read this section I learned that corn had a great significant in the history of agriculture. Corn with in the years flourished the agriculture.  It spread all over the world.  The corn farming was introduce in New England in 1,000 C.E. Then after that it spread to Europe, Africa, and Asia.  Another thing that I learned while I was readying this section was that some combination of diffusion and migration took the original agricultural package of Southwest Asia and spread it widely into Europe, Central Asia, Egypt, and North Africa.  This happen between 6500 and 4000 B.C.E.  Another thing that I learned from this section was that agriculture also imposed constraints on human communities. When this happen lots of things change. But those things change in a good way.  This things that I just told you got my attention because all these things made a different in this world that we now live in.
