Jeffry Hill notes that as early as 3000 BC, nomads would develop societies that would focus solely on the care and maintenance of livestock for a reliable food source. Evidence found by many scientists and archaeologists point out that the ability for a person to process grains such as wheat, peas, and barley, all took place in villages during the early Neolithic era. These changes would forever define the way that humanity would move forward and the pace at which they would do so. First being born in Western Asia and Iran, there has even been evidence that points to the early growing of figs in Jordan Valley, dating back to 11,000 plus years. It was during this time that farmers in China would begin to cultivate rice and millet, harnessing the power of man-made floods and fires in order to give birth to some of the first farming and agriculture techniques. Even cereal production occurred in Syria 9,000 years ago.

Jeffry Hill says that while many societies had agricultural aspirations, the main thing that all of these people had in common, is that they based their entire lives off of the welfare of their herds, becoming the first shepherds in the history of humanity. Most of the domestication of animals would occur in the Great Hungarian Plain and the Northeast China Plain, where they would utilize cows and horses, sheep and even yaks. Most of the earliest records of this occur in China, where they would utilize these crops to make things like rope and clothing. Throughout the history of agriculture, it has met different ages of humanity in which pivotal changes occur. In Arabia, camels would be the staple of the diet there, though they would also use sheep, goats, and horses. More fibrous crops would begin to be grown as well, including things like cotton and hemp. This is important for agriculture because these domesticated animals would contribute to many farming techniques that improved crop yield. This development occurred in several places at once. This would continue to increase agricultural output and further expand the reach of civilization.
