The Natufians were a group of hunter-gatherers who lived in the Levant region (present-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria) around 12,500-9,500 years ago. They were one of the first groups to start processing wild cereal grains and adapting to a more settled way of life. However, due to a drier climate around 9000 B.C., the Natufians began to transition towards dependence on agriculture and animal domestication.
