'''Village Square''': Much of the team's research into the history of domestication relied on Jared Diamond's book ''Guns, Germs, and Steel" that showed how plant and animal domestication were crucial to the establishment of sedentary lifestyles. Hence, we got the idea to create the impression of a central "village square", with a bench around the column and a fictional village's coat of arms as key scenographic elements of the exhibition.<br><br> | '''Village Square''': Much of the team's research into the history of domestication relied on Jared Diamond's book ''Guns, Germs, and Steel" that showed how plant and animal domestication were crucial to the establishment of sedentary lifestyles.

'''Logo''': The tools used in the design of the logo, crook (sheperd's staff) and flail, have been ancient insignia of both political and clerical power dating back to the age of Egyptian pharaos. Moreover, the Bible's First Book of Moses (Genesis), Chapter 4 introduces the brothers Cain and Abel as the first farmers, hence the biblical beginning of civilization is linked with plant and animal domestication: ''And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.'' | '''Logo''': The tools used in the design of the logo, crook (sheperd's staff) and flail, have been ancient insignia of both political and clerical power dating back to the age of Egyptian pharaos.
