Tradition has it that agriculture began in the Middle East around 10,000 years ago and so created the 'Neolithic Revolution' with farming itself accompanied by the first traces of cities, and soon, great leaps in the variety and subtlety of stone tools.

Colin Tudge overturns the traditional view that farming began in the Middle East 10,000 years ago, quickly led to the Neolithic farming revolution, and ended the hunting-gathering lifestyle. Agriculture in some form had been practiced for thousands of years before that, Tudge argues. Neolithic farming was not the beginning of agriculture but the beginning of agriculture on a large scale, in one place, with refined tools.
