Regarding growing wheat, we modern people have very perfect planting technology and even equipment, so we mistakenly believe that growing wheat is actually relatively simple. After all, it is also one of the largest staple foods for us humans.

Since it is one of the biggest staple foods of our modern people, now we will mainly analyze the existence of wheat.

It is really not easy for our ancestors to grow wheat. It can be said to be as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is not as simple as raising thatch in the field.

First of all, we need to understand that wheat is just a kind of thatch in the world of our Homo sapiens ancestors, so it is very difficult to collect a lot of seeds. To collect these seeds, you must at least understand wheat first.

Right? And there are so many types of weeds that it is very difficult to find wheat.

Then, our Homo sapiens ancestors planted wheat differently from us modern people. Instead, they tried to clear a piece of land, that is, they simply weeded it, and then scattered the wheat seeds on the ground. Then someone said, this

It's very simple, no! We have ignored a question. In fact, our ancestors of Homo sapiens also ignored this question. In what season can wheat be grown? In what season can wheat be produced? Right?

Therefore, our ancestors have made more precise improvements to the wisdom they gained from raising sheep, which is the wisdom of the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter! How to improve? Still like a fool, while observing the original wheat on the grassland

Let’s look at the angle of the sun, and we may not be able to get more accurate data for many, many years. But our Homo sapiens ancestors have done it. Give us a feel, right? It’s like giving us a magnet the size of a fingernail, and then

Let's go to a very large reservoir. It's as difficult as finding an embroidery needle, but our ancestors did it!

Does it seem easy to determine when wheat can be planted and when it can be harvested? No! Our ancestors would still scatter wheat on the ground, and many birds would come to eat it. This was a matter of great effort for our ancestors

Of course, other animals are eating the seeds that have just been collected, and wheat will germinate better simply by spreading it on the soil.

At this point, our ancestors made improvements after a few years. They had to bury the wheat seeds. Perhaps our ancestors did not meet the standards for the depth and even spacing of the seeds, but they sprouted, which means that it is initially possible to cultivate wheat.

.

But things are still not that simple. The era of our ancestors is different from our modern times. Even in our modern times, scarecrows are planted in wheat fields to scare birds, chase away rabbits, etc., because they eat wheat, and there are even scarier things.

Yes, locusts! In fact, there are too many of these animals in our era of Homo sapiens.

Do these need to be driven? Since they need to be driven, someone needs to take care of the wheat. This requires a lot of manpower. After all, everything is unknown when starting to plant this kind of wheat. Everything is implemented based on guesswork. No one will

Tell us that the ancestors of Homo sapiens said that it was time to get rid of the insects, or to water it, and that the wheat would get diseases.

Therefore, after many years of exploration, our ancestors were able to somewhat grasp the seasonal issues and even behavioral issues of wheat, but the yield has not been very high. It can even be said that a large group of people are cultivating wheat. This may be a negative yield.

How terrible is this?

Then after many, many years, our ancestors once again revised the accuracy of seasonal time. After countless failures, we finally understood:

One: Wheat does not like large and small stones in the fields, so our ancestors had to pick these things out of the fields and move them out, which made their backs hurt!

Second: Wheat does not like to share space, water and nutrients with other plants, so our ancestors often had to weed under the scorching sun, which was very annoying and tiring.

Third: Wheat can really get sick, so our ancestors have to help drive away insects and prevent diseases.

Fourth: Basically all herbivores like to eat wheat, so a lot of manpower must be spent to drive away or kill these animals, but the number of animals has been increasing.

Fifth: Wheat needs to drink water when it is thirsty, so our ancestors had to bring water from far away places, or even use earthen jars to carry water. The so-called transportation was done with bare hands, and there was no such thing as a car.

Sixth: Since wheat can be thirsty, it can also be hungry, so our ancestors often need to pick up some animal feces and other things, and then feed them to wheat, that is, mix them in the soil where wheat is grown.

When we talk about this, many people will immediately say, aren’t we raising wheat in modern rural areas? It doesn’t seem so cumbersome, right? In fact, we understand something wrong. In modern times, many of us use agricultural tools to grow wheat, but with

Even a day of plowing the ground with a shovel will kill you, let alone our ancestors who used stone tools to do this. Maybe one person in modern times can plow the land in ten days, but our ancestors needed a dozen people to work together and spend a lot of time.

Ten days, of course, this is still a small matter. You must know that our ancestors did not have any agricultural tools, and everything was basically done with one hand. How difficult is this?

Next, let’s discuss the issue of evolution. Why are we discussing this now? In fact, it is very simple. Our Homo sapiens have evolved to what we are today. We are suitable for climbing trees and chasing small animals or sheep. Anyway, our bodies

The structure is just suitable for these things, and because our ancestors originally walked on all fours and did not stand upright, we paid a heavy price for standing up and walking, and it has not yet evolved well.

Therefore, our ancestors and even our modern people are not suitable for bending down to pick up stones or carry water, so this caused many diseases to our ancestors. When our ancestors were cultivating wheat,

The spine, knees, neck, and soles of the feet all have to bear the price, which leads to the occurrence of a large number of diseases, such as disc herniation, arthritis, and even hernia. Moreover, there are not enough medical conditions to treat these diseases, and wizards are generally responsible for them.

It's just a sacrifice, so our ancestors endured more pain and even death. What's more, the terrible thing is that they still don't understand the reason, and they all think that the gods are angry.

The next thing is the most serious thing. We always think that these are enough for our ancestors to bear. In fact, the more serious thing is: because of the cultivation of wheat, our ancestors were forced to settle down! It was absolutely forced.

So to this day, we still don’t know whether wheat domesticated us humans or whether we humans domesticated wheat. Let’s analyze it.

In fact, wheat was originally just a weed on the grassland, but now it is different. It is a staple food in almost all countries on the earth. Then there are green wheat fields everywhere in countless places. It can even be said that in China,

Farmers in rural areas usually eat pasta for two meals a day, either three meals or two meals! Without breakfast, I am a farmer! I know that no one knows better than me!!!

Some people may ask, is pasta bad? No! Pasta is delicious and comes in many varieties, but it is still pasta, but we cannot ignore it. In fact, one pasta cannot provide the nutrients our human body needs, so it is basically easy for farmers to

Sickness, if this element is missing or that element is missing, I can’t figure out what element it is. Anyway, it is missing. If it is missing, you will get sick. But when our ancestors did not have wheat fields, this situation almost never happened, because we

Our ancestors would be running around, exposed to many types of fruits, and ate a variety of meats, so there would not be malnutrition, and even if there were, it would not be too serious.

Furthermore, if pasta is the staple food, if the harvest is not good one year, or the wheat fields are destroyed by some natural disaster, or are eaten by locusts, or even if there is a severe drought, the farmers will go hungry.

Die! Because there is nothing else to eat. For example, when China was at war in the last century, this situation was very serious.

Then there is our modern era. If the staple food is really just wheat fields, then whether it is a natural disaster, locusts, or some fungal infection, the number of farmers who will starve to death will definitely start with a number of millions.

The next step is to snatch the wheat fields. In fact, this kind of thing still happens to us until modern times. Without the wheat fields, farmers actually lose the necessary conditions for survival, so farmers usually stick to the wheat fields, because if they don’t stick to the wheat fields, retreating means giving up.

Wheat fields, and some grain that might have been stored there, are now a dead end!

So after our ancestors thought they had domesticated wheat, in fact, the robbery of wheat fields was too frequent, and our ancestors were actually much more grumpy than us modern people. They basically solved problems by force, because wheat fields are the continuation of life. I

I believe that no one is willing to give up his life, so there will be a lot of fights and deaths.

Finally, we will not talk about our modern farmers. Many times there are taxes or other things, or the country wants to go to war, and basic food must be contributed. This topic is sensitive, so we will not talk about it. Anyway, in the end we

As long as you know, it is really difficult for farmers who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky! But history has always ignored the farmers. In fact, without farmers, war would not happen. Any technological development will stagnate. Let’s start with this.

Say no more.

Finally, we understand the issue of wheat from the perspective of biological evolution. From the perspective of the number of species and their absolute position on the earth, the once inconspicuous thatch wheat is now full of green wheat fields, and it is the most populous in all countries.

A staple food that we attach great importance to, so we can understand that it is wheat that has domesticated us humans! We humans have given up the happy life of gatherers and have been completely captured by wheat. We can also say that we need each other, right? But this seems a bit wrong.

ah?
