Summary

This quote highlights the significance of the discovery of agriculture in the development of human civilization. Before the advent of agriculture, humans relied on hunting and gathering for sustenance. However, the discovery of farming techniques revolutionized food production, allowing for a more reliable and sustainable food supply. Agriculture led to settled communities, the establishment of social structures, the division of labor, and eventually the emergence of complex societies. It marked the transition from a nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a more organized and civilized way of life, setting the foundation for the advancements that followed.
