     Men sometimes say, "We are better and cleverer than women.  Women never invent things, we do. "It

is true that men have invented a lot of useful things. But scientists and archaeologists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture. Before the invention

of agriculture men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals and sometimes

animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day, too. They collected roots, fruit and grass. Then, one day, more than 100,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. They grew and the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too. Women planted fruit trees. Then they could

stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Archaeologists think

that women kept the first domestic animals: dogs, cows sheep and goats. That idea grew, too. Then their

husbands did not have to go hunting for meat.They stayed at home.They built villages and cities. Civilization began.
