representations depicting a tree of life or as a symbol of knowledge appears
to be deeply rooted in many societies. We have adopted trees as national or
religious emblems such as the Scots pine, the date
palm and the olive.
Within our varied cultures the simultaneous invention of
pottery and writing on tablets allowed record keeping
and information to be transmitted not only across
distances but from generation to generation. Decorated
potsherds are now being found in most unlikely
locations for example across the Sahara and deep within the Congo basin.
Earlier examples of notation on bones and stones have been recorded as far
back as 25,000 years, which now seems to be the earliest accepted date for
the emergence of agriculture.
"When all is said and done, is there any more wonderful sight, any moment
when man's reason is nearer to some sort of contact with the nature of the
world than the sowing of seeds, the planting of cuttings, the transplanting of
shrubs or the grafting of slips."- St. Augustine
