CHAPTER ONE CONTINUED...
Agriculture
(MY THOUGHTS...) Without agriculture societies would have never been possible. In order to provide and settle down it was needed. Also, humans relationships with nature and our surroundings would have been a lot different. Agriculture has its ups and it has its downs. Yes it provides and aids well being, but it also led to conflict. Agriculture required land and as populations grew more and was needed by that group of people. Everything has its ups and downs. Even so, agriculture was needed in order for humans to advance. Without it our world as we know it would not even exist.
