But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture.
Before the invention of agriculture men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, and sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out everyday, too. They collected roots, fruits and grass. Then, one day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home in the Middle East. They grew, and the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the .children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: Dogs, cows, sheep and goa

"I’m a total geek all around," says Angela Byron, a 27-year-old computer programmer who has just graduated from Nova Scotia Community College. And yet, like many other students, she "never had the confidence" to approach any of the various open-source software communities on the internet--distributed teams of volunteers who collaborate to build software that is then made freely available. But thanks to Google, the world’s most popular search engine and one of the biggest proponents of open-source software, Ms Byron spent the summer contributing code to Drupal, an open-source project that automates the management of websites. "It’s awesome," she says.

What is "Walk to School"
Now we are working on a programme of "Walk to School". We would like as many parents and children as possible to take part, even if in a small way. Children who walk to and from school along with their parents can learn essential road safety and life skills.
You can take part by...
■ Walking to and from school with your child every day.
■ Walking for one or two days during the week.
■ Encouraging others to walk, if you already do.
Walking is great!
■ Walking is great exercise! A walk is good for your body and can keep you fit.
■ You won’t have to waste time looking for a parking site.
■ It’s free. You’ll save money by not using the car.
■ It’s pollution-free.
■ It’s a good chance to talk to your children and to meet other parents, too.
Enjoying walking to school!
