Answer 1

When humans were still hunter gatherers, they basically foraged for food and hunted. It was when humans discovered the cycle of seasons and that during certain seasons, they noticed there was an abundance of food they can harvest. They took this knowledge and settled near riverbeds where they can irrigate the crops and cultivate grains. And that’s how civilization started really. It’s called the agricultural revolution.
