Answer:
In the context of trade, saffron is one of the world's most expensive spices by weight. Saffron consists of stigmas plucked from the vegetatively propagated and sterile Crocus sativus, known popularly as the saffron crocus. The resulting dried "threads are distinguished by their bitter taste, hay-like fragrance, and slight metallic notes. The saffron crocus is unknown in the wild; its most likely precursor, Crocus cartwrightianus, originated in Crete or Central Asia The saffron crocus is native to Southwest Asia, and was first cultivated in the area now known as Greece.
"Saffron, for example, was once less regarded than it is today because the crocus from which it is extracted was not particularly mysterious. It flourished in European locations extending from Asia Minor, where it originated, to Saffron Walden in England, where it was naturalised. Only subsequently, when its labour-intensive cultivation became largely centred in Kashmir, did it seem sufficiently exotic to qualify as one of the most precious of spices.

The world's urban population in the 1930s was about 20%, and by the 1970s, it had grown to about 35%.
Explanation:
This phenomenon is known as urbanization, and consists in the increasing of the proportion of people who live in cities vs the proportion of the people who live in the countryside.
This is relevant because throughout history, the vast majority of people lived in the countryside as farmers, but when the industrial revolution started in the late 18th century, industry, and later services, began to slowly replace agriculture as the main economic activity of the world, and people began to move to cities to work in industry first, and later on, in the services.
A. Social Darwinism
A quote I found sums this question up, but it'd be better to do some side research.
-
"<span>the theory that individuals, groups, and peoples are subject to the same Darwinian laws of natural selection as plants and animals. Now largely discredited, social Darwinism was advocated by Herbert Spencer and others in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was used to justify political conservatism, imperialism, and racism and to discourage intervention and reform."</span>
