Question, is there a possibility that humans did develop agriculture before the 2nd ice age, and all the evidence got "wiped out", since like 80k years is a long time for say proof of crops and stuff to have survived?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ While it is theoretically possible that humans could have developed agriculture before the 2nd ice age (approximately 80,000 years ago), there is currently no concrete archaeological evidence to support this hypothesis. The earliest widely accepted evidence of agriculture dates back to around 10,000 BCE, during the Neolithic Revolution. The lack of evidence from earlier periods could be due to various factors, including the perishable nature of early agricultural tools and crops, geological changes, and the limited scope of archaeological excavations. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The Neolithic Revolution ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The Neolithic Revolution, which began around 10,000 BCE, marks the transition from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities. This period is characterized by the domestication of plants and animals, leading to the development of permanent settlements and the rise of complex societies. While earlier instances of plant and animal management may have occurred, the evidence for systematic agriculture before this period is not substantiated by current archaeological findings. ⚹◊Did the development of agriculture potentially occur before the Second Ice Age, with evidence being lost over time?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
