Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The domestication of animals and plants occurred during the horticultural and pastoral stage, as this was a period when societies began to settle down and focus on agriculture and animal husbandry. The hunting and gathering stage was characterized by a nomadic lifestyle and did not involve domestication. The agricultural stage came later, after horticulture and pastoralism, and involved the development of intensive agriculture techniques. The biotech stage has not yet been reached (if it ever will be) and is a speculative future stage of society.
