The Earth’s climate has gone through many changes.
At certain times, it was very cold and much of the Earth
was covered with ice — this is called an ‘Ice Age’
The End of the Ice Age: Later, when the weather
warmed up, some of the ice melted, and the water flowed
into rivers and oceans. The last Ice Age started over
100,000 years ago and ended about 12,000 years ago.
The Beginning of Farming: After the ice age, life
became easier for humans. people began to settle down
near the river banks and started to grow crops like cereals
and grains.
They also started keeping animals like cattle and
goats.It’s believed that DOG is the first animal
domesticated by humans.
Settlements communities: With more food available,
their communities grew bigger, and they often settled
near rivers. This was because they needed water, and
the soil near rivers was more fertile, which made it
easier to grow crops.
Development of different Communities: As communities
grew, they became more complex. Leaders,
called chieftains, took care of the people, and everyone
worked together for the community.
