The rise of agriculture is significant because agriculture made great advancements in society. After the hunter-gatherers realized that farming farming was easier and required less moving they created small villages and farms to live on permanently. From these small villages grew larger cities and more technological advancements. Using animals to lighten a person's workload on the farm by domesticating them was another advancement. Only replanting seeds from the biggest and healthiest crops made farming easier and more prosperous for the entire village. This helped stop diseases and keep the people in the village healthy. In around 5500 B.C. in Europe wheat and barley from the East were being cultivated. This moved gradually toward western Europe. In 3000 B.C. the ox-drawn plow begins to significantly advance Europe's agriculture. When people realized that they did not have to follow animals to find food they had more time to focus on medical and technological advancements.
