Why did you post this question?

To have food to eat.

This question is asked and answered in Jared Diamond's book "Germs, Steel and Guns" or something like that.

Hi, ROLCAM!

Probably for the same reasons that certain people do now.

We have to eat. Some people choose to, or feel a calling to till the land in order to help to provide food.

Thanks!

I'm not sure anybody really knows why agriculture appears to have blossomed 10,000 years ago or so.

I just heard on the radio that there's evidence that people were grinding grains and roots as early as 100,000 years ago, much earlier than previously thought. I personally am not surprised.
