Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fertile Crescent, located in Western Asia, is considered the birthplace of agriculture and the site of the first domestication of grains around 10,000 years ago. This includes the domestication of wheat, barley, and other crops. Kalhu and Persia (modern-day Iraq and Iran) were located within the Fertile Crescent, but the Zagros Mountains were not the site of the initial domestication of grains.
