Date de diffusion: Jan 01, 1989

More than ten thousand years ago in Southeast Asia an extraordinary discovery was made - how to control animals and plants.

We explore the various plants and animals that were tamed and farmed - chickens and rice, mangoes and elephants, cattle and coconuts - and what these things meant to the new societies they created.
