The Evolution of Agriculture in the Middle East

prehistorical societies seem to develop agriculture and then consciously abandon it, preferring some other way of life. The builders of stonehenge were not farmers, or at least not in the usual sense they had once been. This sort of lase fair attitude towards farming is true in many other places. For example, in the early amazonia, there are seasonal cycles in and out of farming. And same for the habit of keeping pets, but not domesticating animals fully.
