farming; the business of producing crops and raising livestock
settling down to live in groups for a period of time (staying in one place).
The climate became warmer, wetter, and more stable, which made it better for farming.
Hunters/gatherers stopped moving around as much and began growing their own food and relying more on the land. Farming was a guaranteed food source.
As people started to stay in one place they were able to have children closer together in age because they didn't have to worry about moving around as much. More people, gave them more of a need for food.
Much of the big game was wiped out, so these people needed a new food source. New food source = AGRICULTURE
People started paying attention to who could provide the largest feast.
