A hunter gatherer is a nomad. They build shelters wherever there is food , and once the food runs out there, they move to the next place available. A farmer can live in once place for a long. They grow their own food, usually have a surplus of it, and are able to continue living their once the growing season is over due to their surplus of food.
The transition from a hunter gatherer to a farmer begins when the people of the ancient civilizations began to domesticate plants like wheat and barely into their area. Once they learned this it was possible to start building villages and communities such as Draa'. Draa' was the first ancient civilization and held the first granary. The people of Draa' were the first farmers in the world. People were also able to learn new jobs now that they had enough food and everyone did not have to run around gathering enough food for that day. They learned jobs like how to make plaster, how to work with fire, and also some weavers and people who made clothing.
Changing from a hunter gatherer to a farmer made a huge impact on the advancement of civilization. Once you learned how to domesticate a plant or animal and farm them, you open up a world of opportunities for people. Learning new jobs, building permanent houses, and starting a community. This all leads the greater society of today.
