4 Our Last 10,000 Years: Agriculture, Population, Biology Questions addressed in this chapter: When, where, and why did agriculture first develop? How did agriculture affect human living circumstances? How did agriculture affect human biological change? What are the most important forces shaping human biology today? Are we still evolving?
