Early people lived by hunting animạls and gathering grains. A tribe lived in an area until its food supply dwindled. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food. This way of life caused a special problem for the tribes. They had to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skill. If they could find no animals, the whole tribe was in danger of starving. And even when the hunters had good luck one day, they were not sure to find animals the next time. The tribe moved often because much land was needed to support a few people.
Finally, people learned that they could grow their food. At first, the women of the tribe raised patches of wild grain. Later, people discovered that they could plant theừ own seed. Farming slowly became a way of life. As people turned away from hunting to farming, their lives changed. When the food supply became more constant, they no longer moved from place to place. The success of the crops depended partly on the weather, but there were things they could do to help crops grow. Now, the tribe could grow in size because íarming provided a way to feed people.
