According to the theory‚ the Fertile Crescent‚ in the Middle East‚ had the perfect crops and the most useful animals that could be used for domestication. A lot of the evolution of people was based on the domestication of plants. When groups/tribes of people didn’t go hunting or gathering but instead‚ stayed at one place‚ by a water source‚ they could obtain all the stronger strains of wheat and barley for growing.

consequences of the Neolithic revolution on social structures.

It was during this threshold in which humans laid down the foundation of farming and plant domestication‚ soon to be followed by a variety of other crops including corn. Humans were now able to have permanent settlements and produce enough food to survive. When humans first began cultivating corn‚ they selected certain traits that some maize had
