essay
The transition between hunter gather to farming took a while. First it comes down to geographic luck if you were to succeed as a farmer. The crops had to be domesticated.

The people in Papua New Guinea had sago, bananas, and tarrow root. they were not very high in protein, didn't last long, and were a lot harder to make so they stayed hunter gather.
