Summary: Animals and Grain
Key dates:
The crops which these earliest farmers grew were wheat and barley, both of which still grow wild today in parts of Syria and Turkey. The seeds of these wild varieties were brought here by the Neolithic farmers.
They also brought with them cows, pigs, sheep and goats. While we do not know exactly what these animals looked like, we can assume that they were similar to some wilder varieties available today such as Kerry cattle or wild boars.
