    record stands in testament to the manner in which man has interacted with his environment. This interaction is particularly fascinating in regard to our agricultural and animal husbandry activities.  This interaction is particularly well documented in the area we now refer to as Egypt. This area was, in fact, one of the agricultural centers of the world and  as such it has generated a particularly vivid archaeological record. The archaeological record documents the fact that Neolithic man in Egypt  employed extensive agricultural practices to meet their need for food. They farmed and raised animals and settled in agricultural villages. To supplement their agricultural pursuits they also gathered  nuts, seeds, fruits and other products from their environment. These early peoples hunted and fished as well and had the capability of making bread and of weaving. Through  archaeological excavations we have documented an extensive array of both the wild plants and animals and the domesticated plants and animals which were used by early man in this area.  The archaeological record documents the fact that the people in the area we now know as Egypt went through a progression in their  subsistence patterns which was very similar to that which early man wen through all over the world. They evolved from hunters/gatherers to agriculturists in a relatively short period of  time. The earliest of the hunter/gathers had lived in groups of small numbers who wandered from one areas to the other carrying their few possessions with them as they  went and living in makeshift structures for only short periods of time. The early hunting/gathering tribes had little incidence of disease
