Timeline of Agriculture
AG REV. 1
Began around 12,000 B.C.E in the Nile River Valley and the Fertile Crescent (Northern Arabia). It is also called the Neolithic Agricultural revolution referring to the stone age.
The Egyptian civilization came out of the Nile River Valley and the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia came out of the fertile crescent.
The first age began in areas with plentiful resources where it was easy for people to experiment with crops and the domestication of plants and animals.

Another important part of the First Agricultural revolution was the domestication of animals. Some argue that it began before the growth of crops while others believe it was after.
Animals began living near human settlements for protection, and eventually some docile ones like pigs, cows, and sheep, were domesticated as livestock for milk and meat.
The canine animals like wolves would scavenge or stay near the village for protection. Eventually, a mutual relationship was formed leading to domestication.
