Just after the end of the last ice age (about 8,000 BC to 10,000 BC) hunter gathers in and around the "fertile crescent" of what is now called the Middle East began to be able to settle down and learned to plant and harvest edible plants they had previously gathered. This made more food available and the first major human population boom. Because of this, people were able to stay in one place for much longer periods than their nomadic ancestors because they had surpluses of food from the plants they raised and the animals they began to domesticate, enough to allow them to expand their knowledge and resources on other things other than food.
