    Then about ten thousand years ago，after this immensely long period of hunting their food，they became farmers.Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life，was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating their prey．The hunt became suddenly out of date．The food was their on the farms，awaiting their needs．The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival．
