Since they were already farmers according to Possehl,

He did not say that, as you show yourself below.

Gregory L. Possehl, Indus Age: The Beginnings, 440, University of
Pennsylvania Press, 1999
"already farmers"


'Possehl explains the "sudden" appearance
of the strangely sophisticated village farming
community at Mehrgarh as an artefact of
incomplete excavations and is confident that
"the beginnings of food production and domestication
in the region" will eventually be
traced - within the region itself.'

And either 'Carl' is being dishonest or he shows himself up again as
unable to understand archaeology.
