Hunter-gatherers in North Africa and Southwest Asia transitioned to farming around 10,000 years ago due to a combination of climate change and population pressures. The end of the last Ice Age created more stable and warmer environments, which led to an abundance of wild grains and animals. As these groups began to cultivate crops and domesticate animals, they settled in fertile areas, leading to the development of agriculture. This shift allowed for more reliable food sources and the eventual rise of permanent settlements and complex societies.
