[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] Aren't farmers indicative of the subsistence of most African cultures out numbering foragers and pastoralists combined? [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] ... I believe that MOST cultures in Africa were hunter gatherers and pastorial nomads, who RARELY settled down LONG ENOUGH to build such structures. . . . . But back to the thread and the topic. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]It is about when and where. Until recently, the begining of agriculture was always thought to have begun OUTSIDE of Africa. Of course up to date research is proving that false, but there needs to be more research done. Agriculture is a key event in the development of human populations, however, it is also well known that there were many pastoral groups up to and after the development of organized agriculture. I actually believe that people planting crops is far older than we think, because it may have occurred on a much smaller scale, at earlier points in history than we NOW have evidence for. Most of the evidence we have for agriculture is associated with the development of complex societies, hence, agriculture is a key aspect in tracing the development of modern civilizations. That does not mean that people were not planting things on a much smaller scale at scattered points in history PRIOR to the development of complex social structures. [/QB][/QUOTE]
