Human Behavioral Evolution 4: Agriculture

The final behavioral evolution is agriculture, which was not a genetic evolution, but a cultural innovation.

About 12,000 years ago, people who succeeded in domesticating animals through agriculture and livestock farming acquired techniques to stably produce highly nutritious and highly digestible foods. It should be noted that this fourth innovation was acquired by humans who had almost the same brain and body as we do today.
