Once the transition to agriculture began, why did it affect the global human population so much more unevenly than hunting and gathering had? What are the ongoing effects, even today, of that uneven development?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but correct responses should include: Agriculture stimulated settlements to develop and populations to increase where as having large numbers of children was unsuited to foraging life. Settlements around major water sources, fertile soils and varying climates helped end the migrations and nomadic lives of early peoples. Today, these development trends still exist for population centers and settlements
