Class of 2/3/11

In the Middle East 11,12,13 thousand years ago they started growing their own plants and storing them.
They learned how to domesticate animals they use the animals hair and milk. Hyde's.
After the harvest the animals would eat the rest of the harvest, and the animal would fertilize the new harvest.
Goats and sheep were the first to be domesticated in the ancient world.
Pigs and cows, frogs, some elephants, horses, camels, monkeys, hipos,
The invention of the plow was very helpful, most powerful machine on the planet at that time. Before animals domesticated you hacked up the ground in rows by yourself. Now they use the animals. Better use of people.
In new guinea people never used plows because they didn't have animals, the only domesticated animal was the pig. Pigs get you meat but not milk, wool, leather, or hyde's, they can't pull plows. The only muscle power in New Guinea is the people.
To domesticate an animal they need to get along with people.
