A comet impact 13,000 years ago led to the first seeds of agriculture being planted in Syria, as hunter-gatherers adapted to survive. Analyzing sediment layers, researchers found evidence of climate change, shock-fractured quartz, and a massive firestorm caused by the impact. The impact also caused major changes in human societies, leading to the transition from hunter-gathering to agriculture and herding.
