CIVILIZATION WAS BUILT ON SHIT Farming had a long-term impact on society, which means that these findings show exactly when civilization began to develop and emerge. In addition, the new research could explain how early farming territoriality emerged. "The fact that farmers made long-term investments such as manuring in their land sheds new light on the nature of early farming landscapes in Neolithic times," said Amy Bogaard from the School of Archaeology at the University of Oxford in a news release. "The idea that farmland could be cared for by the same family for generations seems quite an advanced notion, but rich fertile land would have been viewed as extremely valuable for the growing of crops. We believe that as land was viewed as a commodity to be inherited, social differences in early European farming communities started to emerge between the haves and have-nots." scienceworldreport/articles/8190/20130716/ancient-european-farmers-used-manure-8000-years-ago.htm
