Well, my question was *why* early humans settled down and started
cultivating. Given the demographic boom probably followed agriculture, I
find it hard to understand the reasons behind such a "choice".
I read recently in a book review of a possible religious origin of
agriculture and I wonder whether any of you knows something more about this.
As soon as I get hold of the book in question (the translated title is "free
from civilization" by Enrico Manicardi - foreword by John Zerzan) I will be
more precise.
