Über diesen Titel

The document provides an extensive overview of the origins and development of agricultural technology, focusing specifically on the domestication of wheat and rice and the resulting impact on human civilization. It establishes that wheat originated in the Fertile Crescent and spread globally, while rice originated in China's Yangtze River Valley, citing recent archaeological findings that push its evolutionary history back 100,000 years. The sources examine the profound societal changes brought about by this "Neolithic Revolution," detailing advances from stone tools to iron implements and sophisticated irrigation systems like China’s Dujiangyan. Finally, the text explores how this shift from foraging to farming fundamentally transformed social structure, population dynamics, and the rise of civilization, leading to formalized social hierarchies, population booms, and the development of written language and urban centers.
