When the hunters switched to farming the normal age went down and the disease rate went up.

When the Hunters/Gatherers swithed to farming and started crowding togethor (in towns) and began trading with other towns you began to see an increase in parasites and infectious diseases (in my opinion they were basically trading the same foods it appears unless it was hunters trading farmers) as well as the fact that when you became a farmer you put quantity over quality, causing un-healthy lifestyles.

''For most of our history we supported ourselves by hunting and gathering: we hunted wild animals and foraged for wild plants. It's a life that philosophers have traditionally regarded as nasty, brutish, and short. Since no food is grown and little is stored, there is (in this view) no respite from the struggle that starts anew each day to find wild foods and avoid starving. Our escape from this misery was facilitated only 10,000 years ago, when in different parts of the world people began to domesticate plants and animals. The agricultural revolution spread until today it's nearly universal and few tribes of hunter-gatherers survive.'' It took away our basic survival strategies.

"Finally, the mere fact that agriculture encouraged people to clump together in crowded societies, many of which then carried on trade with other crowded societies, led to the spread of parasites and infectious disease."

"Life expectancy at birth in the pre-agricultural community was bout twenty-six years," says Armelagos, "but in the post-agricultural community it was nineteen years. So these episodes of nutritional stress and infectious disease were seriously affecting their ability to survive."

# data[].attributes.body
An exapmle from the passage that shows agriculture was the worst mistake was "Life expectancy at birth in the pre-agricultural community was bout twenty-six years," says Armelagos, "but in the post-agricultural community it was nineteen years. So these episodes of nutritional stress and infectious disease were seriously affecting their ability to survive." this is indicationg that they believed the new argiculture had reduced life expectancys making it the worst mistake.

# data[].attributes.body
There are at least three sets of reasons to explain the findings that agriculture was bad for health.  First, hunter gatherers enjoyed a varied diet, while early fanners obtained most of their food from one or a few starchy crops. The farmers gained cheap calories at the cost of poor nutrition, (today just three high-carbohydrate plants -- wheat, rice, and corn -- provide the bulk of the calories consumed by the human species, yet each one is deficient in certain vitamins or amino acids essential to life.)Second, they depended on limited crops. Third, Agriculture caused people to travel in groups which caused diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
When people started agriculture, they health was affected poorly. For example, the passage says: "Life expectancy at birth in the pre-agricultural community was bout twenty-six years," says Armelagos, "but in the post-agricultural community it was nineteen years. So these episodes of nutritional stress and infectious disease were seriously affecting their ability to survive."      AND       "With the adoption of agriculture, height crashed, and by 3000 B. C. had reached a low of only 5' 3'' for men, 5' for women. By classical times heights were very slowly on the rise again, but modern Greeks and Turks have still not regained the average height of their distant ancestors."

# data[].attributes.body
When he is saying how the hunters had switched to farming only when it was neccesary because hunting could no longer be relied on. This is not a agricultural mistake beacause you see how early Hunters moved around to be able to survive and another thing was when he was explaining how it caused inequality between sexes because woman had still farmed and it was mostly personal choices that would affect that.

# data[].attributes.body
The start of agriculture affected many of peoples health. In the passage it says "health changes that occurred when a hunter-gatherer culture gave way to intensive maize farming around A. D. 1150".

# data[].attributes.body
People changed their ways over time because of what someone said and it could have stayed the same as it was.

# data[].attributes.body
" Farming may have encouraged inequality between the sexes, as well. " I think that this is incorrect because we all know that was not the case. Back then the women were there doing house chores and cooking not farming. " That's the men's job."

# data[].attributes.body
There would probably be A lot of extinct species because people would have hunted all of them. Overall the generic view of our world and how we have '' Evolved " overtime would look drastically different from what it does today.

# data[].attributes.body
The change from hunter-gatherer to agriculture was met by a decrease in overall health of the population, as seen in the change in height in Greece and Turkey, going from 5'9" for males to 5'3".

# data[].attributes.body
An example of agriculture being the worse mistake is the effect it's had on hierarchy. Before agriculture, hunters and gatherers only had what they got that day. Nobody had more, nobody had less. Yes, it was hard, but it was also simple. With the introduction of agriculture, we could have a storage of food. The people who had the most resources ended up being the highest in the hierarchy.

# data[].attributes.body
The text says that while the hunters enjoyed a varied diet, the farmers gained their food from a few starchy crops. It says the farmers gained cheap calories at the cost of poor nutrition. This implies that farming is not the best why to eat food, and made the farmers duffer more.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has a lot do do with the nutrition we get. Like whether or not you are well nourished or not. Or if you can farm successfully or not.

# data[].attributes.body
Before, people would starve if they couldn't find enough food but after they began agriculture, they were able to be fed and be full.

# data[].attributes.body
when the passage talks about how Hunter-gatherers practiced the most successful and longest-lasting life style in human history.  It is false because it wasnt successful. what happens if they cannot find any food sources and the cannot feed their tribe or families? But one they had agriculture that changed drastically.

# data[].attributes.body
The food available would be very low, if not extinct. People would be starving but if they weren't starving, they'd most likely be healthier.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has affected humans health, height, reproduction, and social status.

If they could not find animals to hunt, or couldnt find any food, agriculture would save them. It would give them atleast a small amount of protien and keep them from starving.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has changes nurishment, hieght, heath and chnaged the amoujnt of people who starve.

# data[].attributes.body
The food avalibilty would be limited. It would be harder for pople to find food. More animals would be extinct. The only positibe thing would be having more protien in your meals.

If genetic engineering/artificial food were to have some malfunction and no was food was able,they could use agriculture for survival.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has affected our health, nurishment, height , and our birth rates.

# data[].attributes.body
if the world didnt transition we would be stuck in older times and would have never evolved into greater things like industrializing. also, our population would not be that large due to animal shortages on some parts of the world.

"Archaeologists studying the rise of farming have reconstructed a crucial stage at which we made the worst mistake in human history. Forced to choose between limiting population or trying to increase food production, we chose the latter and ended up with starvation, warfare, and tyranny."

# data[].attributes.body
when farmers started going more towards farming, disease rate started rising.

# data[].attributes.body
While more animals would most likely be extinct unless hunters learned to control populations, according to Diamond the Human population would probably be smaller, more spreadout, but healthier.

"Forced to choose between limiting population or trying to increase food production, we chose the latter and ended up with starvation, warfare, and tyranny.

Hunter-gatherers practiced the most successful and longest-lasting life style in human history. In contrast, we're still struggling with the mess into which agriculture has tumbled us, and it's unclear whether we can solve it." This states that agriculture has made us spiral in a direction that is not good which is why it is the worst mistake.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has affected our height, and has also affected our health.

When the hunters and gatherers switched to agriculture, the life expectancy went down.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning people were starving and then crops came to be and people got more of the necessities and began developing and living longer. This was a good go to for when the hunters had difficulties finding animals to hunt.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has helped with surviving ove the years because of the benefits we get from it like resources ,height,nourishment,and our birth rates.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has affect our daily life,health,height,reproduction,and nutrition.

# data[].attributes.body
when people began converting to farming is caused them to group together. the close proximity led to faster spread of disease, and more people meant more food. they had to constantly plant and farm, and if even a single crop failed it could lead to the starvation of a colony.

# data[].attributes.body
When the hunters/gatherers switched to farming they started to condense and more disease was spread

# data[].attributes.body
towards the start of agriculture people were still just hunting and gathering but then everyone cough on to the trend and it caused the earth where you grow stuff to become infertile.

# data[].attributes.body
Hunters and Gatheres becoming farmers is one of the worst mistakes because they started trading with other people spreading disease and parasites. It also brought the life expectancy down because they focused on quantity over quality bringing the quilty of living down.

# data[].attributes.body
when the disease rate when up and the framing age went down.

# data[].attributes.body
If we never evolved we wouldn't be industrial to this day. Animals may have gone extinct which could lower the human race population. Which then means what ever is left would be starving.

# data[].attributes.body
Before they switched to agriculture, they would not have enough food to provide for their families, but after they were introduced to agriculture, they could grow food in quantities so they would never go starving.

# data[].attributes.body
The article said that agriculture gave us more free time which introduced us to creative projects, but this can be disproved because there are hunters and gatherers today who still have time for creative projects.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture affected the Human as a whole but also affected social statuses reproduction rates and how well fed the world is.

# data[].attributes.body
The food sourced would be limited, because if the animals are not already extinct they eventually would become extinct .

# data[].attributes.body
i think agriculture has affected the way we live. instead of going out to hunt for our food everyday we go to the super market and buy foods that were grown in a controlled environment.

# data[].attributes.body
when the hunters/gatherers switched to farming, start settling in towns and, start trading with other towns you see an increase in parasites and diseases as well as the death rate increasing.

# data[].attributes.body
More animals would be extinct and food sources would be limited due to our human population.

It has made us more productive as a society, but also taken a lot of weight off of our shoulders. On the other hand, it has made us change the way we think of each other. (according to the article). It significantly decreased our height (???) but significantly increased our life spans.

# data[].attributes.body
It didn't only provide us with food, It provided us with a source fo income and people used farming for business.

"One answer boils down to the adage "Might makes right." Farming could support many more people than hunting, albeit with a poorer quality of life. (Population densities of hunter-gatherers are rarely over on person per ten square miles, while farmers average 100 times that.) Partly, this is because a field planted entirely in edible crops lets one feed far more mouths than a forest with scattered edible plants. Partly, too, it's because nomadic hunter-gatherers have to keep their children spaced at four-year intervals by infanticide and other means, since a mother must carry her toddler until it's old enough to keep up with the adults. Because farm women don't have that burden, they can and often do bear a child every two years." This shows that agriculture also was helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
if everyone were too hunt then certain animal species would become extinct and if we were never taught how to properly farm then we would get very low on resources and nutrients and we would struggle to survive.Also the competition would be very high if we were all going after the same species.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has and will continue to help the human race survive. However as you farm more and more the soil becomes infertile and causes dust storms and a lot of bad stuff to hurt Humans.

# data[].attributes.body
when the hunter gatherers switched to farming they were able to provide enough food to feed their families

# data[].attributes.body
before agriculture, not everyone was fed right. but after agriculture, everyone was able to be fed properly.

# data[].attributes.body
Before the age of framing there was not enough food to go around, now there more than enough

# data[].attributes.body
The text states that a lot of our current problems stemmed from the adoption of agriculture. While we were still hunter/gatherers there was no society like we know today. It was very small bands of people who lived day to day trying to eat. When farms came around some people gained power and the rest didn't. Differences between people and their roles widened creating the inequality that some face today.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has incorporated many grains and succeeds in providing necessary food groups that can't be given with meat products. Overall human development is impacted by agriculture.

# data[].attributes.body
a lot of species that we mainly use for food would become extinct because they wouldn't be able to reproduce as fast as we were killing them off

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has affected the world by providing us with more food and nourishment. It has also provided more jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
agriculture has affected humans because in order for us to be able to be fed and healthy, we need to know how to farm.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has made civilizations grow and spread and made technological improvements happen faster than areas that don't use agriculture.

# data[].attributes.body
while people were slightly better off just scrounging for berries and hunting animals, agriculture gave way to New technology. it made people begin to think of how they could make the process easier and more efficient. also the domestication of plants, picking the ones that would be the most usefully and planting its seeds, gave way to the development of larger crops.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has had humanity go through good times and rough time an example would be the Irish potato famine

# data[].attributes.body
One example of the passage being wrong is when it talks about people not being fed properly before the introduction of agriculture. This is incorrect because before their were smaller towns which meant a smaller demand on food, so the hunter only had to get so much before they had enough.

# data[].attributes.body
There would be a lot less political drama within countries and in between countries. I think the world might be a little more fair, but we probably wouldn't have advanced near as much as a society.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of species would go extinct because they would be so over hunted. There would also be a limited amount of food so some people would go hungry.

# data[].attributes.body
The world would be way less densely populated and there would less advancements in health and societies and there would be a higher mortality rate.

# data[].attributes.body
species would start to deteriorate and become extinct because our food products would be decreasing as we are killing them off faster than they can reproduce.

# data[].attributes.body
i dont think this was a mistake to switch to farming because like he said hunting couldn't be relied on and it would become difficult to find animals to hunt and have the patience too.

# data[].attributes.body
We would be killing off many species causing them to become endangered or perhaps extinct. Human development would also be affected due to lack of specific food groups. Technology might have also not evolved the way it has causing a less advanced way of life.

# data[].attributes.body
When people became hunters and gathers they almost immediately they became better. They always got better food and all around they got better.

# data[].attributes.body
if the hunter/gatherers didn't switch then we would still use hunting as our main source of food

when he stated that the hunters/gathers switched over to an agricultural life style because hunting could no longer be relied on to feed them and their families.

# data[].attributes.body
Human were able to advanced more and more because they was able go learn form their mistakes of famine and was able to try to prevent that again

# data[].attributes.body
as time went on, tribes and colonies depended more and more on their crops and agriculture in general. Culture today is still reflecting the start of farming in those areas. how well agriculture panned out all those thousands of years ago has affected the way civilizations are run today.

# data[].attributes.body
The text points to the average height of two groups of people as a way to show how agriculture has not helped. Paleontologists have found that hunter/gatherers from Greece and Turkey were taller than even people today in those same regions. While this is true, people in those regions now have a longer life span than their hunter/gatherer ancestors due to medicine.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture completely changed the way we lived. Farming allowed for more people to be born which allowed for a surplus of food. Now some people could do other things besides farming. Those people created new stuff which has all eventually led to what we have today.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture has had a huge effect because it has been the reason why new huge cities are popping up because we can afford them with food and trading becomes a lot bigger when there are more people with different needs.

# data[].attributes.body
when would problem have less and less animals to to even help make the crops or other foods we need. lots of species would not exist anymore and there would not be a balance. it will lead to another famine

# data[].attributes.body
The world would be a lot more spread out with smaller villages with packs of people in each village dedicated to hunting and cooking causing an inablility for people to create new things.

# data[].attributes.body
Agriculture was the reason people were coming together to create towns and settling .It was also the reason that the towns were attracting so many more people and the towns were opening up trade and communication between them.

# data[].attributes.body
It would look vastly different. Humans would not be dominating the Earth like we do today. There would be no significant man made structures and far less people, especially in the far north and south.

# data[].attributes.body
if we hadn't switched over to farming, eventually, we would have killed off the animals we hunt. With with the animals gone we'd rely on the berries and fruits we could find, eventually those would run out too and we would starve to death.

The world might have never evolved out of the stone and wood days, and we would most likely be hundreds of years away from having any technologies that we have now.

# data[].attributes.body
In the text he states that the switch in culture to an agricultural lifestyle will not be able to sustain life as long as hunting and gathering did, but as it might not, is has advanced our world to make us healthier than we ever have been.

# data[].attributes.body
The increase of use of agriculture has helped populations stabilize and allow new technologies to be made. Without the efficiency of farming, there would have been no time to help improve other areas of life.

# data[].attributes.body
If we were still hunters and gatherers, we would not have developed communities like we have now. We would be nomadic, and not have the stable structures we have been building for hundreds of years.
