Agriculture developed independently in several parts of the world as the plants that sustained people on their seasonal hunting and gathering migrations likely ceased to exist.

Farming and herding weren't exclusively exported from the Middle East but many food crops and animal breeds were. Once farming was fairly universal, greed, overpopulation and warfare soon followed.

I love reading about archaeology and anthropology, but I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed doing either one.
