Prehistoric hunter-gatherers ate fruit, berries and nuts, so how did early farmers decide to cultivate grain?
In: 12
They’d collect grain as well. Grind it up with water, make some porridge and coalcakes (basically cooked balls of unleavened dough).
As for how grain cultivation started, it was pretty easy. People could carry grain in woven baskets. That means that a few seeds could fall out as people travelled.
The routes your gatherers traveled on would start to have wheat grow, which led to people learning how plants grew. They didn’t magically appear. They had babies like you and me. Their seeds touch the ground, and they grow.
When people realised they could choose where those babies grew, we started the agricultural revolution.
