WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The early history of plant domestication begins in lower Central America and northwestern South America and is known in large part from microfossil evidence. Agriculture led to landscape transformations in the Americas, the scale of which varied across time and place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Despite the great gains in industry, agriculture remained the nation’s basic occupation. The revolution in agriculture–paralleling that in manufacturing after the Civil War–involved a shift from hand labor to machine farming, and from subsistence to commercial agriculture.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Neolithic Revolution, or the (First) Agricultural Revolution, was the wide-scale transition of many human cultures during the Neolithic period from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement, making an increasingly large population possible.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Agriculture began independently in both North and South America ∼10, 000 years before present (YBP), within a few thousand years of the arrival of humans in the Americas. This contrasts with the thousands of years that people were present in the old world before agriculture developed.
