Answer: Answer:Humans are newcomers to Earth, even though their achievements have been enormous. It was only during the Holocene epoch (10,000 years ago) that the development of agriculture occurred, keeping in mind that the Earth and solar system are 4.6 billion years old. Humans have spent most of their history as hunting and food-gathering beings. Only in the past 9,000 to 10,000 years have humans discovered how to raise crops and tame animals. Such changes probably first took place in the hills to the north of present-day Iraq and Syria.
