The term “Green Revolution” refers to __________.
innovations in agriculture that dramatically increased the global food supply
the growing awareness of environmental issues and the significance of climate change
the emergence of environmental political parties in the democracies of Western Europe
independence movements in Africa and Asia in the aftermath of the Second World War
independence movements in Eastern Europe during the fall of the Soviet Union
The Green Revolution refers to a series of agricultural innovations from the late 1940s to the 1960s which dramatically increased the amount of food that could be produced by humanity. It is estimated that due to the innovations of the Green Revolution an additional one to two billion humans can be supported by the global food supply.
Which of these is the best generalization of the benefits people gained from learning to use fire?
Fire improved early humans' diets
Fire made domesticating animals easier
Fire allowed for the first utilizations of metals
Fire changed gender roles
Fire improved the diet of early humans. It allowed humans to cook meat as opposed to eating it raw, which killed dangerous bacteria that would have otherwise been present in the food. Fire also allowed humans to cook dry meat to preserve, creating a surplus of food that did not previously exist. Humans could also use fire to clear fields and improve fertility of land, allowing them to harvest more crops.
