The origins of agriculture reach far back into prehistoric times. Humanity lived in the early age still in quite different states of consciousness and of earthly conditions. Rudolf Steiner's descriptions of these early states of the evolution of the human being and the Earth give illumination here. In the times of the last continental shaping and the great mountain-formations of the Earth — the so-called "Atlantean age" — there lived a humanity that did not yet think in concepts, but that in a pronounced, spirit-inspired instinctive life co-experienced the living weaving of nature and of the creative spirit, and that was able to preserve what was thus experienced with well-nigh unlimited forces of memory.
