"And thus passes a tremendous milestone in the history of our species. Farming, invented around 8000 BC, quickly dominated human activity and has continued to for some 10,000 years. And we even find that the agriculture->industry->services transition doesn't hold up globally. The industry segment simply isn't big enough, so increasingly workers go directly from farming to services." As mentioned in the comments, this may be incorrect as Africa may not be included in the ILO report.
