W๐ก๐๐๐ญ did it by manipulating H̾o̾m̾o̾ ̾s̾a̾p̾i̾e̾n̾s̾ to its advantage. This ape had been living a fairly comfortable life hunting and gathering until about 10,000 years ago, but then began to invest more and more effort in cultivating wheat.
Within a couple of millennia, humans in many parts of the world were doing little from dawn to dusk other than taking care of wheat plants. It wasn’t easy.

[2] Wheat ๐๐ข๐๐ง’๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ sharing its space, water and nutrients with other plants, so men and women laboured long days weeding under the scorching sun.
[3] Wheat ๐ ๐จ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ค, so Sapiens had to keep a watch out for worms and blight.
[4] Wheat ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ against other organisms that liked to eat it, from rabbits to locust swarms, so the farmers had to guard and protect it.
[5] Wheat ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ, so humans lugged water from springs and streams to water it. Its hunger even impelled Sapiens to collect animal faeces to nourish the ground in which wheat grew.
The body of Homo sapiens had not evolved for such tasks. It was adapted to climbing apple trees and running after gazelles, not to clearing rocks and carrying water buckets.

Moreover, the new agricultural tasks demanded so much time that people were forced to settle permanently next to their wheat fields. This completely changed their way of life .
