This document summarizes the origins and consequences of agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution. It discusses how early humans were able to domesticate plants through genetic changes that made crops reliant on human assistance. Key domesticated crops included corn, beans, and pumpkins in America, and potatoes, squash, and quinua in the Andean highlands. The consequences of agriculture included population growth, new social structures, new technologies, and the spread of diseases. Agriculture allowed early humans to settle in one place and establish permanent villages.
