A humorous comic drawn by xiam47 depicting "Jimmy the Nomad" and his friend planting seeds to grow plants for food. Is this train of thought similar to those of the first prehistoric cultivators? It is thought that cultivation of plants first began when gatherers began to save seeds from the foods they ate and spread them across fields in order to grow more of their favorite foods. By cultivating plants, hunter gatherers began to have a reliable source of edible plants. They did not give up hunting and gathering entirely, but they cultivated plants to ensure food supply when prey became scarce.
