Men sometimes say, “We are cleverer than women.” It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things : the machines, rockets, and guns, too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing, that is, agriculture(农业). Before the invention of agriculture men were hunters. Sometimes they killed animals, but life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day too, collecting roots, fruit and grass. Then one day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds near her home in the Middle East. They grew and the first wheat was born. Women also looked after baby animals at home: dogs, cows, sheep and goats. Then their husbands did not have to do hunting for meat. They built villages and cities, and began civilization (文明)— only after women invented agriculture.
