After two million years of living as a predator in a restrictive nature, man made the decisive choice to free himself from this condition and to think differently about the relationship he had with his environment. To do this, he undertook a psychological transformation that led him to establish a relationship of domination and subordination with some of the plants and animals that surrounded him, but also with his daily surroundings. This transformation took place over several millennia and had one prerequisite: that man establish solid and irreversible foundations by settling permanently in a specific territory, by sketching out a new framework for community life, by forging a symbolic system capable of making the social body function… It is the history of this evolution through livestock farming, the domestication of water and Mediterranean agriculture that is proposed here, from the Neolithic to the present day.
