Early people became farmers through a process known as the Neolithic Revolution, where they transitioned from hunter-gatherer societies to agricultural communities. This transition was likely driven by climate change, population growth, and the domestication of plants and animals for food. As they settled in one place to cultivate crops and raise livestock, they developed new technologies and social structures that laid the foundation for modern civilization.
Hunter-gatherers relied on hunting and gathering food for survival, while early farmers practiced agriculture and domesticated animals. Hunter-gatherers were nomadic, following the availability of food sources, while early farmers settled in one location to cultivate crops. The transition from hunting and gathering to farming marked a shift to sedentary societies, surplus food production, and the development of complex social structures.
In the Iron Age, people had various jobs such as farmers, blacksmiths, weavers, potters, hunters, warriors, and traders. These occupations were vital for sustaining and advancing the communities during that time. The specialization of labor increased as societies became more complex.
The Incas became successful farmers by developing advanced agricultural techniques such as terraced farming on mountain slopes to maximize arable land, and creating complex irrigation systems to distribute water effectively to their crops. They also utilized crop rotation and diverse crop varieties to sustain their agricultural productivity.
Early farmers used slash-and-burn agriculture as a way to clear land for cultivation. By cutting down and burning vegetation, nutrients are released into the soil, making it more fertile for crops. Additionally, the ash from the burned vegetation can act as a natural fertilizer.
Yes, early farmers typically worked daily. They had to tend to their crops, livestock, and other agricultural tasks to ensure a successful harvest and provide for their families. Agricultural practices often followed a seasonal cycle, with different tasks required at different times of the year.
