When people were forced to move away from hunting and gathering, they had to make the best of their environment. Soon people began to domesticate plants and animals so that they could farm and produce a large surplus of food. The domestication of plants and animals marks the beginning of the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution around 10,000 BCE.
