Intuitive fred888: Farming began only 10,000 to 12,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent in the Middle east which is much more recent than I thought

I had thought this was 25,000 years ago but I guess this didn't happen (this time) until 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

This entirely changes how I view everything too because I also know that the ocean was 400 feet lower around 11,000 AD also which also explains a lot to me. So, for example, the land bridge across the Aleutian Islands likely could be walked upon all the way from Asia to Alaska then 11,000 years ago too so it's possible hunter gatherers from Asia didn't have to kayak or walk across the ice very much or at all before 11,000 years ago trying to get to Alaska and the North American Mainland from Asia.

There is the 100th monkey story also which illustrates how people (or animals) at a certain point in their evolution make quantum leaps in how they do things like learning to grow food whether or not they are exposed to other people doing the same thing (or animals). The 100th monkey story is that one monkey washed their sweet potatoes given to them in Japan by people and was persecuted for this but continued to do this anyway because she didn't like eating sand when the people threw the sweet potatoes on the beach for them. So, she continued anyway doing this washing her food in the ocean and then her children did the same and their children too. Then at a certain point every monkey on every island there started doing the same thing even though they couldn't get to each other to learn this attribute in person.

My point of view is that all people and animals are telepathic whether they realize this or not and when some forward thing in progress happens through evolution somehow this travels telepathically great distances between animals or people because they are telepathic whether they understand this or not at various different levels of awareness.

Because this same thing happened regarding farming for humans too where it spread with no one spreading it to other places on earth as well.

Origins of World Agriculture - World History Encyclopedia

Farming, or agriculture, began around 10,000 BC, transitioning from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle to settled communities that cultivated plants and domesticated animals. This transition, known as the Neolithic Revolution, marked a shift in human history and allowed for larger populations and more complex societies. The earliest evidence of agriculture comes from the Fertile Crescent, where people began to cultivate wild grains and domesticate animals like pigs and sheep.

Key points about the origins of agriculture:

Multiple Independent Origins:
While the Fertile Crescent is often cited as the origin, agriculture developed independently in other regions, such as China, Africa, and the Americas.

Domestication of Plants and Animals:

The process of selecting and breeding plants and animals for desirable traits, such as higher yields or gentler temperaments, was crucial to the development of agriculture.

Shift to Settled Communities:

The ability to produce food in place led to the formation of settled communities, which were a significant step in the development of human civilization.

Impact on Human History:

The development of agriculture had a profound impact on human history, enabling larger populations, more complex societies, and the development of specialized labor.
