The shift from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture marked a pivotal moment in human history, starting around 12,000 years ago. This transition was driven by climate changes that created fertile land, but new research highlights the role of population growth and cultural exchanges between agricultural and hunter-gatherer communities. As these groups interacted, they shared knowledge and resources, which helped them adapt to farming challenges. This complex process ultimately laid the groundwork for modern civilization. Understanding these dynamics reveals how early agricultural practices evolved, leading to the diverse diets we have today and the intricate trade systems that supported ancient societies.
