Tools, transportation, trade and agriculture came together and it makes you look at history differently when you consider that and wonder if the stone age people were indeed the knuckle-draggers we think they were. How did they evolve so quickly?

I grew up in the farming world & know it's a challenge to train an animal to trust you, to take food from you, to do chores or tricks. So I bring that POV to hearing about the early peoples' efforts with horses, oxen, elephants, camels, llamas, alpacas, & even dog teams. And it wasn't just the beast, but also the chariot, wagon, sled, they added. To farm, build & to make war. This was done around the world, in the stone age.
