Answer 1

Food surpluses provided enough resources to supply larger populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the domestication of plants and animals, the earlier societies were able to make more food for themselves than hunting and gathering supplied. This led to them being able to maintain larger populations that would have died out earlier due to a lack of food.

For instance, it is estimated that before the domestication of plants and animals, humans numbered between 6 and 10 million people but 10,000 years after the domestication, the human population numbered about 250 million showing the influence the domestication had.
