The first ancestors who we can recognise were 4 million yrs ago. 100.000 years ago humans spread out of Africa.
Humans started to use stone tools about 2 million years ago. Gradually they used other tools such as wood, bone, antler. People learned how to use fire. They began fishing, hunting and gathering fruits, seeds and nuts.
About 8000 BC humans began to cultivate crops. People started to farm. In America - maize; China - rice; also beans, yams and potatoes. This vegetation was because of the Ice Age.
The Dog was the first domesticated animal. Dogs were used in hunting. Horses, pigs, sheep were one of the first tamed animals.
Modern food production is based on agriculture.
Small towns were found in places such as Jericho in 6000 BC.
