It can be said that people started living on earth almost 200,000 years ago. At first, many of them were hunting, but 50,000 years ago, people have started to move on the surface of the earth and settled. About 10,000 years ago, people became acquainted with the agricultural method and used it to establish their permanent settlements and began to reproduce agricultural products.
