| History |
| Beginning in about 7500 BC with classical millet
agriculture, China's development of farming over the course of its history
has played a key role in supporting the growth of what is now the largest
population in the world. Jared Diamond estimated that the earliest attested
domestication of rice took place in China by 7500 BC.
1) Excavations at Kuahuqiao, the earliest known Neolithic site in eastern China, have
documented rice cultivation 7,700 years ago.
2) Finds at the ruins of the Hemudu Culture in Yuyao and Banpo Village
near Xi'an, which all date back 6,000 to 7,000 years, include rice, millet
and spade-like farm tools made of stone and bone. The first signs of settled
agriculture however was around 5000 B.C. |
