So sad all those animals diedok, i don't usually post links to videos but this is a really good presentation of how primates (which we are one of) might have come about. really interesting potential tie-in at the end you may enjoy as a bit of a surprise, but i won't give it away...

Here is a little prehistory research that starts the wheels spinning this AM. It also indicates the limits of archeology in understanding human/plant relationships.
They are suggesting that migrants expanded the area in which valued, wild plants grew as Ice Age weather warmed and rainfall increased in arid regions. Carrying seed and aiding in the establishment of a population of plants were the first steps to farming. Moving into new areas probably increased only slowly at first but we can imagine how it blossomed as tools, techniques and resources developed.
