Explanation: Before domestication, animals were used for eating and for making clothing, which means that animals were caught during hunting. Also, people used wild plants found in nature to feed or make natural medicines.

The domestication of animals and plants has brought a number of benefits that have contributed to the development of human civilization. First of all, domesticated animals were easier to store and use for food and other purposes, and raising domestic animals also increased productivity because the animals bred in this way could be exchanged for other goods. All this meant greater wealth, and besides domestication, there was no longer a need for nomadic life, people could settle in settlements and develop, cultivate the land. Animals are also a significant help in the cultivation of the land and the cultivation of domestic agricultural crops, their crossbreeding and higher yields, thus again greater wealth. Domestic animals could be used to aid hunting, and in addition many goods were obtained from animals such as fur, fat, meat, etc.
