The archaeology site in Draa uncovered one of the oldest civilizations in history  at around 11,500 years old. The small village supposedly had around 40-50 people living in it. This was one of the first places were farming started to take over. The middle eastern people of the stone age were the first farmers. The way crops are changed is called domestication. Chinese farmers started growing rice, in the Americas they grew corn, squash, and beans, early African farmers grew sorghum, millet, and yams. New Guineans have been farming almost as long as the people in the Middle East. New Guinean crops couldn't be stored long, they couldn't be planted in abundance, and weren't rich in protein.
