I’m not going to get into a cherry pick our sources argument with you, agriculture is very important to humanity culturally.
Becoming an agrarian society is not what made us humans though.
An entry level anthropology course is a weird source to point at though as because I’m making biological and evolutionary argument and you’re referring to culture.
Regardless anthropological sources hold up the advent of fire and our ability to break free from simple nutrient sources and day time caloric gain AND venturing into colder regions. It allowed the dispersal of humans. Well before agriculture.
PS: fire more strongly supports the notion that humans were originally largely vegetarian, if you care to have a more salient point.
Depends on WHO you refer to as humanity. For me, humanity started at the Point, where we could create larger societies than Just Tribes of people, which all other Hominids have also in Common. If you refer to all Hominid Species Lifeforms (past and present), your Point may stand. But AS i Said before, neanderthal peoples also knew how to make fire, Same woth many other Hominid Species, that went extinct, as they were driven into a evolutionary Corner Not adapting to the Changes in environments and neighborhood Relations with the modern Human (Homo Sapiens). And yes, i know this Species is 300k years existent, much longer than agricultural Farming.
Alas i am Not a Scientist, but the notion of the Shitpost, that we must eat meat is ridiculus, as our Species was always an omnivore, allowing us to adapt better to the environmental Changes in the begining. This is Not, what differentiates us from other homidae.If you Just say, fire is what differentiates US, you cold also say, the ?dexterus? thumbs is the deciding factor. Other Species Had that too, its Not our Unique elling Point 😉
Except that all Species of Human Like apes Had that - homo sapiens, homo neanderthalensis, homo erectus etc. What US AS Homo Sapiens Sets US apart is agriculture: https://socialsci.libretexts.org/Courses/College_of_the_Canyons/Anthro_101%3A_Physical_Anthropology/12%3A_Homo_sapiens_our_History_and_our_Future/12.4%3A_Agriculture_and_its_Effect_on_Humans
