Document Summary

Early people"s food habits derived from what was available. Survival was driving force that determined what was eaten. Different places ate different things depending on their surroundings (ex. Civilizations in river valleys could grow crops and domesticate animals (who also ate the crops) People around the world cultivated crops that were available in their region but all eventually had some sort of grain/starch type crop. All had different animals based on area as well. Mountainous regions were not good for living in (terrain made agriculture impossible and very cold at high elevation) Lower valleys could be used for grazing animals but only in summer. Gently rolling/flat land was well suited to grow crops. People lived where land was fertile enough to grow crops. People built trade routes across land and sea. Food and other goods were carried to market so people in different places could experience food they could not grow where they live.
