Horticultural Societies
Captions available
The idea
Horticultural societies subsist by cultivating plants in garden plots, usually without ploughs or irrigation; stable rainfall let them stay put, founding the first permanent settlements.
In practice
A village plants the same plot year after year and builds houses meant to last, not to be abandoned.
Where people slip
Horticulture and agriculture differ by technology and scale, not by crop.
