Farming was a big part in our history we had a lot more food and lived longer, from dying at 22 years old to living to 35 to 50 and had a lot more time to think and imagine

[@wellno1525]

Actually, farming was less efficient than hunting and gathering at the start and farmers had shorter life spans and height

They didn't die at 22 they were strong then why would they die at such a young age

[@dviad_gg]

@@ojastopale4865 The average lifespan of a human in the old stone age was about 22 years old. This is because hunting and gathering wasn't efficient, so you are incorrect.

[@julian.kollataj]

I’m still curious to know what triggered people to even consider farming - was it such that some people fell ill or injured while hunting-gathering, then found some kind of plant as a remedy, and decided, “we need more of this to heal”, so they found a way to grow it but realised it required waiting around which was convenient to wait, but eventually got used to that way of life, and decided “it’s not worth moving around anymore... and (because of fear) what if we get ill/hurt again, we don’t want that, and/or we won’t get to take those plants/medicines with us”...?🤔

[@realitynowassigned]

Because you can only be so successful at hunting and gathering before food either becomes scarce or your brain evolves and realizes the safer option is to stay put.

[@dariusgabor7472]

They didn't just said:"we farm, we stay here". It wasn't a sudden revolution. They discovered that is you take care of some plants, you can get a higher production. So, in one part of the year, they where farming, and the other, they wer hunting and stuf. And so on, with time, they started farming more, on the short term, it was more confortable, but in the end there was a big mistake in terms of how life was. Yes, they were protected from the dangerous animals, but our bodies are made for running, climbing, swiming, hunting, not for a repetive movement. Plus the fact that they, before had a diversity in food, but when they farmed there were the same foods, witch led to lac of vitamines and stuff. Plus THEY WERE HAPPIER BEFORE, when they were hunting and all that they've done. I really hope this was clear. If you want more information about them i recomad Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. 👍

[@ojastopale4865]

I think Ur imaginary definition is true 🤔

[@owensheasby]

pretty sure its because of overhunting and the massive decline in average prey size. humans were almost forced into farming

[@nextworldaction8828]

"Humans figure out how to farm, and make their lives easier". HILARIOUS. (this video is like what we learning in public middle schools in the 80s). also, by "much larger problems" he means we're destroying the very foundation of the living systems that all life on this planet is based on, and without we cannot exist.

[@falljazz]

Apparently human had more free time when they were hunter gatherers than when they were farmers. There are many studies that conclude this.

[@julian.kollataj]

falljazz cool! Have references?

[@falljazz]

@@julian.kollataj I can find a reference. However, I've done a lot more reading since my first comment, and the study a was refer to (I'll find it) is not super well thought of. Unfortunately we simply don't know exactly what the lives of Hunter gatherers looked like. There is some modern day evedence that suggest that people who switch from a hunter gatherers lifestyle to agriculture sacrifice (I'll try to find that reference too).

[@littlebrothermoneywithmich6178]

Also lived longer. The dying at 35 is wrong. 35 is just when the molars break through, so scientists say 35+.

[@nextworldaction8828]

@@julian.kollataj I don't have an exact reference either but the work of most of the leading archaeologists currently agree that in most land areas hunter-gatherers generally only had to seek out food for around 12 hours (?) a week (this is from memory) average. the idea that innovation happened because people now had time is absurd. Innovations didn't come around because there was no need for, nor the capacity to destroy the natural systems you were surrounded by and which supplied everything you depended on, for some 'innovation'. all modern innovations have been based on converting natural systems into fuel or raw materials in a way that allows you to extract greater levels of energy - a relationship divorced from the continuation of the living system on which all living things other than civilized humans live within and depend on. okay, sorry, ramble ramble... but yeah, currently the idea that hunter-gatherers worked far less than agricultural humans is commonplace. though not all these people are archaeologists/anthropologists, the works and research of Ian Hodder, James Suzman, Stephen Shennan, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, David Montgomery, Chris Ryan, Robert Kelly, and Jared Diamond, just to name a few, would all testify to this. This was true even in many of the most challenging places, such as the Kalahari Desert. Of course, every area of land is different and will require different amounts of effort. The land decides.

Humans have always know how to farm, it was an unstable climate that prevented them from farming on a large scale.

[@lewisharper7649]

I think you should fact check that statement.

[@gourdfromspace]

Gobekli Tepe was a city made of bricks and pillars long before any agriculture was developed. Not all civilizations built before they farmed, but also not none of them.

[@CANNIBoy]

Well, only because no one else has mentioned it, I will: Gobekli Tepe. This is an archeological site in Turkey that has been reliably* carbon-dated and is much older than our current historic model (regarding the revolution of agriculture) should allow. It single-handedly “heavily implies” (proves) that agriculture had been around at least 12,000 years ago, and probably long before that. But this is new info and is still being contested and debated heavily among those in acedemia enlightened enough to seriously consider new, reliable evidence. *reliable carbon dating refers to the fact that organic matter found at a site wouldn’t reflect the age of the site, just the time at which that organic matter was introduced to a site. It’s a pretty serious distinction to draw. The fascinating thing about Gobekli Tepe is, it was deliberately and consciously buried and preserved, not left for nature or later cultures to contaminate. And the organic matter deliberately preserved at this site is 12,000 years old. Be well all :)

[@robinlillian9471]

People knew for a lot longer than 12,000 years that plants grow from seeds. Modern hunter gatherers certainly know that. Bushman: "Why should we plant, when there are so many mongongo nuts in the world?"* It just depends on which way works best in your situation. If your local area is running out of wild foods, and nearby areas are already occupied, you turn to farming and/or herding, even if they are more work. * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongongo

[@anaccount8474]

This is the standard myth we're fed. In reality it's somewhat of a mystery why people started farming. Early farming was a massive step down in lifestyle from hunter gathering, which is actually quite a satisfying way of life with plenty sparetime and maximum personal freedom. The diet of early farmers was poor and caused health problems, and the lifestyle was one of utter drudgery. In places where farming took hold surrounding hunter gatherers wanted nothing to do with it. Farming didn't integrate hunter gatherers it merely pushed them out and expanded till hunter gatherers had no more space.

Nice video. Consumption of plants has always been a huge source of calories for humans and their ancestors. It's easy to find some primitive cultures that have a niche in animal farming. The cost of calories for animal products is much higher than plants. Modern societies for now can make it appear the cost is lower, but to traditional societies, it has always been high.

This video was made with false and bias knowledge of history. The fact is, than no one really knows why humans developed agriculture, as it made life worse in every way for 95% of us for the next 12000 years. Even today, there are a lot of people who would be better off as gatherers - hunters.

[@ALmaN11223344]

Ah, right, all 9 billion of the pre-stone age folks completely agree with you.

[@robinlillian9471]

The reason is simple. The population increased, and they ran out of wild food, so they started planting their own and keeping animals. If you don't like civilization, your solution is simple. Abandon your home and go back out into the wilderness to live. It wouldn't support most people, but a few can still do it. What's stopping you?

[@ng8952]

Lol what? Farming is not a staple food supply, as matter of fact increasing the population during the stone age is the last thing you want to do, so I don't know why you're coming up with this reason that hasn't been confirmed.

Don't be ridiculous. Farming and herding started in many places. Did you think the Chinese are hunter gatherers? African farmers grow all sorts of foods, too. Native Americans often combined the two. They planted corn, beans, pumpkins, potatoes & other crops, but hunted deer, buffalo, etc.

[@samthegreekboy6812]

They didn't invent farming 8000BC, they have always been farming , they couldn't farm on a large scale because humans before 12,000 were in an ice age, they didn't have a stable climate to farm large. A family would have to plant 10 to 15 different crops just to get 3 or 4 crops to survive in order to feed themselves because the climate fluctuated 10 to 20 degrees from decade to decade. 9000 years ago or so the climate stabilized to the point that farms grew larger and larger to this day. Scientists uncover 35,000 year old grain that was ground, and baked for pastry goods, but it was not easy to find because the farms were on such small scale. Please remember that the earth came out of an ice age 12,000 years ago, farmers had it tough. we now live in the most stable climate ever, less than 1% of people are farmers today, 10,000 years ago it was more like 98% people farmers.

[@robinlillian9471]

People only farm when they can't get enough wild foods. Hunting and gathering is easier. The higher the population is, the more work you have to do to feed yourselves.
