Explanation:

Slash-and-burn agriculture involves cutting and burning vegetation to clear land for farming. Early humans had recently mastered fire use, which allowed them to effectively perform this technique. The other options are incorrect: early cultivators had no writing system, frequent movement would not spread agriculture, and the technique does not require large groups.
