When humans first roamed the
Earth, small family groups
traveled the terrain of the Fertile
Crescent in order to hunt and
gather their food.

After the Ice Age, the human
14 seconds
species found themselves in a
new era where they were able to
cultivate food for themselves.
This Neolithic era began about
12,000 years ago and marked the
start of agriculture (Coon 2014).
Since the beginning of human
8.5 seconds
evolution, people have been
creating ways to change plants to
be fit for human food
consumption.

According to Chassy a writer of
the cereal foods journal
“Someone started saving seeds
from the relatively rare stalks
that did all pop at once, and
replanted them. It worked, and
agriculture was born” (Chassy
2007).

Less traveling and foraging for
food meant more time for the
cultural evolution of the human
species. As a result, human
intelligence and intentionality
increased almost exponentially
and allowed the innovation of
the domestication and genetic
alteration of plants and animals.
Gregor Mendel was the first
person to find an explanation for
what farmers were performing to
cultivate crops.

Through the selective crossbreeding of common pea plants
over many generations, Mendel
established the laws governing
the heritability through traits.

Years later, Charles Darwin
coined the term hybridization
due to his observations of
numerous species around the
world. Darwin also found
variations based on specific
locations, leading him to believe
that they had gradually evolved
from common ancestors.
Both of the discoveries made by
Mendel and Darwin were
scientific terms and methods of
techniques that were already in
practice for thousands of years
by our ancestral cultivars.

As said by coon, a researcher
and writer for the humanist “It
wasn’t natural selection, it was
intentional. It seems to me that if
there is a force or principle that
15 seconds
operates to make an important
evolutionary change happen. ”
(Coon 2014).
The industrial revolution was the
next major discovery that greatly
affected food.

The innovations of steel mills,
tractors, and other agricultural
machinery “reduced the need for
labor, improved seeds, and
synthetic fertilizer” (Chassy
2007).

Before the discovery of DNA,
22 seconds
our ancient ancestors have been
altering plant and animals’
genetic makeup prior to the most
modern technology. Scientist
such as Mendel and Darwin have
founded terms, theories, and
added a scientific method to the
technique ancient farmers coined
during the start of the Neolithic
Era.
Agriculture and the perfecting of 13 seconds
farming allowed people to not
only get smarter and create even
more food consumption
innovations, but also increase in
number as a specie population.
