Domestication of Wheat

9500 BCE · Bereketli Hilal · invention

The domestication of wheat is one of the fundamental steps of the Neolithic Revolution in the Fertile Crescent region.

Agricultural production began with the selection and sowing by humans of the wild einkorn and emmer wheat species. This process, by enabling control over food production, accelerated the transition from hunter-gatherer life to settled village life and, with population growth, laid the ground for the emergence of complex societies.
