Food in wet places means that fields are green and there is green resources around so that means there is animals living in that area. 13-14 out of all the domesticated animals like pigs,cows,horses,goats,in fertile crescent compared to africa none of these animals could be domesticated. Domesticating animals made it easier for people because before people would hunt and with hunting you don't know if you will get something every
