I guess the first human egg-eater ate it raw - they had probably seen another animal do that.

It fascinates me to think of the first person(s) who observed that plants drop seeds, which create new plants, and that this process could be managed/manipulated - the beginning of agriculture.

Being a dog lover, the connection between them and the canines of the wild is another which we’ll never know exactly how they progressed.

Agriculture- The south is indebted to George Washington Carver who realized that after years of planting cotton, the soil was depleted of nutrients. The first to suggest a rotation of peanut/cotton crops to instigate bringing back King Cotton. An educated black man who made a true contribution to America.
Recently a documentary was seen which gave credit to the tobacco industry for many of the new settlements in the new world. Tobacco was the plant that created wealth, exploration of new lands. This was found to be very ironic at this particular time.
