The development of agriculture has often been described as the most
important change in all of human history. Volume 2 of the Cambridge
World History series explores the origins and impact of agriculture
and agricultural communities, and also discusses issues associated
with pastoralism and hunter-fisher-gatherer economies. To capture
the patterns of this key change across the globe, the volume uses
an expanded timeframe from 12,000 BCE-500 CE, beginning with the
Neolithic and continuing into later periods. Scholars from a range
of disciplines, including archaeology, historical linguistics,
biology, anthropology, and history, trace common developments in
the more complex social structures and cultural forms that
agriculture enabled, such as sedentary villages and more elaborate
foodways, and then present a series of regional overviews
accompanied by detailed case studies from many different parts of
the world, including Southwest Asia, South Asia, China, Japan,
Southeast Asia and the Pacific, sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas,
and Europe.
