FEASTING MODEL: Development of agriculture was driven by ostentatious displays of power, such as giving feasts, to exert dominance. This required assembling large quantities of food, which drove agricultural technology. DEMOGRAPHIC MODEL: Sedentary population that expanded up to the carrying capacity of the local environment and required more food than could be gathered.
