Farming is believed to have originated around 10,000 years ago in East Africa and the Middle East by First Nations peoples at the end of the Ice Age, according to scientists. The first crops grown were likely wheat and barley, as their seeds are commonly found from that era. Dogs were possibly the first domesticated animals, kept as pets starting 13,000-30,000 years ago, while sheep, goats, cattle and pigs were domesticated for food around 9000-7000 BC.
2. Farming is said to be started around 10, 000 years ago but no one is
actually sure. It is said to be started in East Africa and the Middle
East by First Nations. Scientists have lots of theories on faring and
how it started and many say it was the First Nations during the end
of the Ice Age around 10, 000 years ago.
3. Scientists believe that wheat and barley were the first crops that they
grew. They probably grew wheat and barley because the seeds are
commonly found. They grew it to make flour to make
bread, cookies, cakes, pastries, and other things.
4. Scientists believe that the dog was the first animal to be kept as a pet. It was
believed that we started keeping dogs as pets 13, 000 to 30, 000 years ago. The
earliest dog bones were discovered in Belgium in 2008 and were from 31, 700
years ago. Sheep, goats, cattle and pigs were the first animals to be
domesticated for a source of food. They probably killed pigs for the
pork, cows for meat and for their hide, and sheep and goats for meat and for
fur. These animals were domesticated around 9000 – 7000 BC.
