The transition from hunting and gathering to farming, which may have begun around 10,000 B.C. was a great step forward for the human race. Ultimately, it allowed the emergence of civilization. Like all profound changes, however, adapting to farming was difficult for those used to a different way of life. Farming was harder than hunting and gathering, particularly when people first began to work the soil and lacked metal tools or draft animals to ease their labors.
Working the land was so taxing that some regarded it as a curse of humanity-as expressed in the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Cast out the Garden of Eden for disobeying God, they were condemned to harvest the earth at great pains.
Many years after Adam and Eve was thrown out in the garden of Eden, they have their two sons named Cain and Abel who commited the first crime of human against human and went into exile.
