How did plant and animal domestication set the scene for the emergence of civilization? The domestication of plants coincided with the cultivation of the use of fire. Environments dictated the choice of crops, which is why there are different types of food in all places of the world. The domestication of animals occured during the same time as that of plants. When global warming heightened, it transitioned hunter-gathering lifestyles to agricultural lifestyles, which historians call the Helocene Revolution (9000 BCE). With this new lifestyle came the emergence of civilization, and it increased the population from ten million in 5000 BCE to fifty to one hundred million by 1000 BCE.
