It was 10,000 B. C. Someone decided to start a garden, and the first plant he planted was the squash. I think I know these people.
What they do is bury their garbage, especially the plant matter that is going bad. They have quite a garden, a good varety of plants they found in the jungle but that grow well from the garbage pit behind the cabin. Squash, potatoes, and peppers.
