Question 1 Summarize the “vicious circle of agriculture” and “human-plant entanglements,” and their role in how archaeologists approach the origins of food production, sedentary lifeways, and social complexity.
When there are conflicts in the world, the food insecurity significantly gets increased and if the world population is food insecure, the conflicts hardly could be prevented. This entire process unfortunately becomes a vicious circle of agriculture. Human-plant entanglements are often created, sometimes unintentionally when human and plants interact. However, thanks to these to concepts archeologists learned to approach the origins of food production, sedentary lifeways and social complexity in a more profound day, giving plants a vital importance and study the complexity of the relationships between all those things.
A country may have caught under 'vicious circle of agriculture due to low investments, poor skills and low yield. In this, farmers are unable to reach international markets to sell their crops …show more content…
One of the earliest sites is Guila Naquitz which was located in the Valley of Oaxaca in Mesoamerica. This site shows evidence of occupation between 8,900 and 6,700 BC where people live and hunted and then slowly the first domesticated plants appeared. Slowly the Mesoamerican cultivation was spread all around North America. However, unlike the rest of the world the Americas did not domesticate many animals, in fact, dogs and turkeys were domesticated only before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. This helped the society to move from nomadic-hunter lifestyle and rather domesticate the animals and plants, creating each one of them a special role in the society. Nowadays the Americas has domesticated even more plants and significantly more animals. People nowadays have strong bonds with domesticated plants and animals and they tend to protect them and keep their species
