Document Summary

Cultivation , using hand tools only, in which plots of land are used for a few years and then allowed to lie fallow. Cultivation, using draft animals, machinery or hand tools in which plots are used annually, often entails irrigations, land reclamation and fertilizers. You"re just selecting the plants with good characteristics. Animal domestication - wild herd to domestic herd. Reduction of males, in particular the dominant males. Fertile females are most important part of the herd. Myths to be dispelled: the great man theory, myth that food production was a great labor-saving development. The hadza: the myth that food-producing communities are better nourished. Food diversity decreases with intensive agriculture: the myth that food production is a more secure means of subsistence than food foraging. Environmental catastrophe can wipe out your entire food supply. Hunting and foraging = more secure because of flexibility: the myth that domestication had one place of origin.
