Explain how the domestication of plants and animals contribute to permanent settlements, moving humans from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to agricultural societies.

The correct answer is the following.

Domestication of plants and animals contributed to permanent settlements, moving humans from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture societies.  

Before learning how to work the fields, ancient humans had to follow the animals to hunt them and feed their families. If animals moved, humans followed them every where. But when humanity learned agriculture and with the domestication of animals in the Agriculture Revolution or Neolithic Revolution, humans finally could settle in one place and initiated a primitive form of a city.

Most of the first ancient civilization settled next to rivers to have water for them and for irrigation. That was the case of Mesopotamia, who was located between the Tigres and Euphrates Rivers, or the Egyptian civilization that settled in, next to the Nile River.
