Explanation: According to the scholars, the most fundamental advance that has affected the course of human life was the domestication of a large number of animals and plants. The present evidence suggests that in west Asia, wheat and barley were domesticated by c. 7000 B.C. Rice seems to have been domesticated in India by about 7000 B.C., as the evidence from Koldihwa in the Belan valley shows. Evidence from several sites (especially Aq Kupruk in Afghanistan) suggests that wild precursors of domesticated sheep, goat and cattle were being exploited by man about 16,000 years back. The continuing presence of sheep and goat bones in good quantities in early phase of Neolithic culture in that area (dated to c. 7000-10000 B.C.) has been interpreted as an indication that they had already been domesticated by that time.
