When did humans start enslaving each other?

by peeweeGmagee

On wikipedia, it says, "Evidence of slavery predates written records, the practice of slavery would have proliferated after the development of agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution about 11,000 years ago."

But there's a citation needed. Is it fair to say that humans didn't start enslaving each other until after we began farming?
