can some one describe where the domesticated agriculture took place in the first civilization?

Answer 1

Probably in the Middle East, South-East Asia, China and Middle-America.

"Many authorities have come to think that man's domestication of plants and animals caused changes in their form and that the presence or absence of such changes may indicate whether the animal or plant was domesticated at some time in the past. On the basis of such evidence, some scholars have hypothesized a preliminary agricultural phase of intensive food gathering in the Middle East about 9000-7000 BC, when man passed from hunting and gathering to food producing or agriculture. The Natufians of Palestine, who possessed sickles, lived at this time; whether the grain they harvested was sown or wild is not known. Cattle were probably domesticated during this period or slightly earlier from the wild ox (Bos taurus), which stood six to seven feet (1.8 to 2.1 metres) high at the withers (the ridge between the shoulder bones). At Shanidar, in Iraq, it is claimed that sheep, similar to wild varieties in form and structure, were kept in herds. Furthermore, it has been suggested on somewhat speculative grounds that einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum), emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum), and wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) were cultivated about 7000 BC at Ali Kosh on the borders of Iraq and Iran."

"There seems no compelling reason, however, why these instances should be regarded as the first of their kind. It is possible that domesticated beans (Phaseolus), peas (Pisum), bottle gourds (Lagenaria siceraria), and water chestnuts (Trapa) may have been grown at the Spirit Cave in northern Thailand about 9000 BC. In the Americas, pumpkins (Cucurbita) and gourds (Lagenaria) are known to have existed in domesticated form in northeast Mexico about 7000 BC, and probably beans in the Tehuacán Valley."

"Developed independently by geographically distant populations, systematic agriculture first appeared in Southwest Asia in the Fertile Crescent, particularly in modern-day southern Iraq and Syria. Around 9500 BC, proto-farmers began to select and cultivate food plants with desired characteristics. Though there is evidence of earlier sporadic use of wild cereals, it was not until after 9500 BC that the eight so-called founder crops of agriculture appear: first emmer and einkorn wheat, then hulled barley, peas, lentils, bitter vetch, chick peas and flax."

"Early evidence for proto-Chinese millet agriculture is carbon-dated to about 7,000 BC. [...] This period also includes [...] the earliest wine production in the world."

"By 7000 BC, the Chinese were farming millet, giving rise to the Jiahu culture. "
