Read the passage below and answer the question.

How Civilization Developed Modern humans appeared between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago, and survived by moving
from one place to another, looking for food. Humans hunted wild animals, and ate nuts, fruits, and seeds. Since
humans were always searching for food and water sources, they slowly travelled across large regions of the
world. These movements were also caused by the weather. In fact, humans used to move whenever weather conditions
became too bad. It was only after the developments of fire and then agriculture that humans started settling
down.
