4. People had to stay in one place
Disadvantages:
1. Domesticated animals (livestock) can be bred and
used for meat, milk, and wool
2. Domesticated crops provide stability to the food
supply

1.
What new way of getting food changed
societies?
A) Agriculture, or farming, changed
societies dramatically.
2.
How did early people become food
producers? What effect did this change
have?
A) Early people noticed that seeds
from plants can grow new plants. The
effects of this included the domestication
of animals, establishment of year-round
settlements, an increase in population due
to stability in the food supply, and
conflict over land.
3. Why did farming societies feel a
need to control land while huntergatherer societies did not?
A) Farming requires control of the
land being farmed for an extended
period in order to reap the harvest.
4.
Clearing forest land today affects the
environment just as clearing wild
plants did long ago. What were the
effects then? What are they now?
A) Then: The land was fertilized by the
ashes of the burnt plants. Now:
Sometimes the same effect is had.
Other times, rapid land development
can lead to endangerment of species by
destroying their habitat.
