Subject optional. Email address: Your name:. Which of the following is true of the Fertile Crescent? Possible Answers: The Fertile Crescent led to a decrease in population. The Fertile Crescent was governed by a democratically elected leader. The Fertile Crescent was located along the Yellow River. The Fertile Crescent supported the development of the earliest farming communities. The Fertile Crescent was located in Mesoamerica. Correct answer: The Fertile Crescent supported the development of the earliest farming communities.
Explanation : Early farming communities characterized the Fertile Crescent. Report an Error. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow through the heart of the Fertile Crescent. The region historically contained unusually fertile soil and productive freshwater and brackish wetlands. These produced an abundance of wild edible plant species. It was here that humans began to experiment with the cultivation of grains and cereals around 10, B.
Mesopotamia is an ancient, historical region that lies between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern-day Iraq and parts of Kuwait, Syria, Turkey and Iran. Part of the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia was home to the earliest known human civilizations. Scholars believe the Agricultural Revolution started here. The earliest occupants of Mesopotamia lived in circular dwellings made of mud and brick along the upper reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys.
They began to practice agriculture by domesticating sheep and pigs around 11, to 9, B. Domesticated plants, including flax, wheat, barley and lentils, first appeared around 9, B. Some of the earliest evidence of farming comes from the archaeological site of Tell Abu Hureyra, a small village located along the Euphrates River in modern Syria.
The village was inhabited from roughly 11, to 7, B. Inhabitants initially hunted gazelle and other game before beginning to harvest wild grains around 9, BCE. Several large stone tools for grinding grain have been found at the site.
One of the oldest known Mesopotamian cities, Nineveh near Mosul in modern Iraq , may have been settled as early as 6, B. Sumer civilization arose in the lower Tigris-Euphrates valley around 5, B. In addition to farming and cities, ancient Mesopotamian societies developed irrigation and aqueducts, temples, pottery, early systems of banking and credit, property ownership and the first codes of law. The origins of Sumer civilization are debated, but archaeologists suggest Sumerians had established roughly a dozen city-states by the fourth millennium B.
Sumer is the earliest known civilization in ancient Mesopotamia and may have been the first human civilization anywhere in the world. Photograph by Stefano Bianchetti.
