Throughout history, agriculture has been a significant player in the development of civilizations. In about 5500 B.C. famers began settling in Europe. They harvested crops such as wheat and barley. This cultivation of crops gradually spread from the east to the west, making farming very popular among people. As a result of the growth of agriculture, new technologies were created and animals were used in aiding the work being done on the farm. Oxen were used to pull the new invention called the plow. The spread and significance of agriculture helped aid the development of civilizations, and also caused people to settle and stay in one place.
