Outsider Reading #???

For this blog about culture I went to a website and read about the history of African food. In Africa farming was very important just like it is in the book Nectar in a Sieve. "Before the people of Africa were farming however the people were hunters and gathers that would mostly eat meat and wild vegetables" (Carr, 1). "Then around 6000 BC, the climate started to heat up and grasslands dried up and became the Sahara Desert" (Carr,1). With this change people in Africa began to farm and the main source of crop was wheat and barley. Now people have extra sources of food then they did when hunting and gathering so animals were being domesticated. "In Africa sheeps, goats, and cattles were the main domestic animals" (Carr,1). In the book Nectar Rukimani had a goat so these animals are all over the world. Even though this heat may not have been the best for the people it led to an agriculture society.


I got this information from the website:
