First evidence of farming in Mideast 23,000 years ago

And here is another cool discovery...

 

Until now, researchers believed farming was 'invented' some 12,000 years ago in an area that was home to some of the earliest known human civilizations. A new discovery offers the first evidence that trial plant cultivation began far earlier -- some 23,000 years ago.

 

The study focuses on the discovery of the first weed species at the site of a sedentary human camp on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, Israel.
