Hunter-gatherer societies developed intricate knowledge of plant life and hunting techniques as they spread across Africa, Asia, Europe and beyond from 2 million years ago. Horticultural societies emerged around 10,000-12,000 years ago and tended to be less nomadic as they could cultivate crops in one location. Agricultural societies developed around 5,000 years ago in the Middle East thanks to the invention of the plow, allowing for greater crop cultivation than previous horticultural tools. Industrial societies emerged in the 1700s as machines and factories replaced agricultural equipment as the primary means of production, beginning with steam and water powered machines and later electricity.
