When Did Humans Start Settling Down?
A long time ago, like really long ago, humans didn't stay in one place. They moved around, hunting animals and picking food from plants. But then, about 10,000 years ago, they decided to stick around in one spot. They began growing their food, like wheat and veggies, and raising animals like cows and sheep. This change made life more stable because they didn't have to keep searching for food all the time. They built houses and villages where they could stay for good. This settling down brought big changes. People got jobs like farming, making tools, and trading stuff with other settled groups. It also helped them learn new stuff like making pottery and writing.
