From
the beginning humans have demonstrated creativity in the various forms of
cave art known as the Lascaux and the Grotto (Grotte Cosquer). In addition,
during the magnificant explosion of innovation came the needle, crude architecture,
and the emergence of more elaborate and specialized stone tools, as well
as ornamentation including jewelery and clothing. The final and last conclusive
part of human
development
was the domestication and avid production of agriculture. This was the true
beginning of more intense human interaction and the start of a relatively
large population which continues to expand even today. Most of this human
population explosion has occurred in the last several centuries but its
roots lie in man's ability to control the food supply - a door opened to
man as a result of the agricultural revolution. In turn, it was the Great
Leap of the late Paleolithic that opened another door that enabled people
to domesticate plants and animals, and therefore, profoundly change our
world of today.
