READING, WRITING

Read for 60 seconds in SAPIENS.  The author, Yuval Noah Harari, says that 10K years ago, wheat was just one of many plants on the planet.  But wheat manipulated Sapiens into cultivating it in larger and larger quantities.  Over 2K years, wheat changed the way Sapiens lived.  Sapiens nourished the massive growth of wheat (cleared land, removed rocks, watered and fertilized, etc.)  So Sapiens abandoned their life of hunting & gathering, and replaced it with a farmer's life.

So, THAT'S what happened!  This is a previously unknown gap in my perception of the history of Sapiens.  It makes sense.
