Abstract

From about 15,000 years ago as the global warming following the Last Glacial Period dried up many of the countries bordering the desert belts, a few human societies started to give up total dependence on hunting and gathering and step by step began to practice domestication of animals and plants. This enabled gradual transition to a sedentary way of life. About ten millennia ago some human societies adopted a way of life almost totally dependant on agriculture and animal exploitation.
