Kinship Hunting-Forging Bands: The Old Stone Age

The replacement of the idle fallow with crops constituted the Agricultural Revolution. It was important because the new types of crops made allowed farmers to feed their animals more, which led to a greater amount of meat and improved diets. It had the greatest effect in England and the Low Countries.

How did the domestication of plants and animals affect agrarian societies? The domestication of plants an animals helped the agrarian societies because they could then get milk, cheese, butter, etc. from cows; cheese from goats, wool for coats and string from sheep, and they could grow their own crops and have a healthy maintained diet. The agrarian societies were smart about what they ate and when they ate, and if they did not recognize it, they did not eat it. They did not have to constantly worry about when or where they had to move their people to, they just built up what they had and used their resources to

According to the context of Document 3, “One innovation or change that occurred because of the Neolithic Revolution was that people settled in villages.” This shows that because of the change of the Neolithic Revolution, people began to live in well-maintained places where people would settle (ex: villages). Another detail from the third document is that “In ancient Banpo, forty- five houses covered with thatch provided homes for perhaps 500 people.” This means that because of the change in Neolithic times, there were a lot of people who were provided with homes to live in. This also shows that there were homes provided for large amounts of people, and they made many items such as pots, vases, and dishes to help them for the house. Moreover, in Document 6, the innovations of the Neolithic Revolution were good for society because they taught many people, especially children, on how to be prepared for anything, and teaching them the basics such as growing and planting crops, and feeding others. According to the sixth document, “Children probably lost their carefree life as agriculture developed.” This shows that children did and learned new things instead of wasting their time doing other, unimportant things. As later stated in Document 6, “Instead of being just responsible for finding food themselves, they had to work on the land and learn to grow food and feed others.”

The people of the Paleolithic Age were mostly nomads. To survive they had to travel everywhere, and follow the

     The Paleolithic Period is the earliest time period man has been alive, and the longest of the Stone Age's. It dates from 2,000,000 B.C to 10,000 BC The people of the Paleolithic Period lived simple lives, which consisted primarily of survival. Man's life was simply to hunt, eat, and survive, while the woman’s job was to gather and watch over the children.

The Paleolithic Age was responsible for the introductions of many vital aspects of our world today such as, technology, agriculture, and gender roles. The Paleolithic culture was based on a hunter and gatherer society, which had a great influence

With the climate change it allowed most animals and plants to survive. Now people didn’t have to go seek for food it came to them.

Economically, the Agricultural Revolution majorly impacted the way of life in the Europe, through new technological farming advancements and improved land efficiency, ultimately leading to a greater abundance of food. Compared to feudal society when people depended on small individual crop yields, many fields were combined in order to produce much larger harvests, increasing the bounty of food overall. Improved land efficiency came with new innovative ideas, including crop rotation. Allowing nutrients such as nitrogen to return to the soil, crop rotation along with fodder crops rotated the fields of crops every few years, leading to more successful yields of crops. Additional advancements in farming technology, such as the seed drill, helped

Why did some Paleolithic peoples abandon earlier, more nomadic ways and begin to live in a more settles

Early agricultural societies differed from those of the Paleolithic era in many different ways. They were two similar and different things. The Paleolithic era was more towards not staying in one specific area. They wanted to follow where their food went. In the agricultural societies, many people leaned towards being a lot less nomadic. They stayed in one spot and decided to farm for food.

They would hunt and gather food in order to survive. This led the way to tribalism where a group of hunter-gatherers would stay together in order to have a better chance of surviving.

To begin, the Paleolithic period is known as the earliest use of stone tools. “Based on theory, the Paleolithic age started to begin with the first appearance of the human form. Even though it was difficult for humans to perfect the image of the human body. The beginning

The Neolithic period was the New Stone Age at around 9000 BCE. Humans were no longer nomads; they changed from hunters to herders, to farmers and to townspeople. People that transitioned

Agriculture became easier with the invention of the plow. This gave people the ability to seed and plow at the same time making harvesting and growing crops less time to

The paleolithic people were nomads; knowledge of their lives comes from the cave paintings they left behind.
