The Alithic Revolution : Mesopotamia, And The Neolithic Revolution

In order for a society to be a civilization, first it must have a social structure. In the first civilizations, there was an upper class of priests, merchants, warriors, and political heroes and a lower class of free people who were usually farmers or slaves. If we didn't have this structure in our society, the world would be chaotic and most likely collapse. These social classes are what developed the fundamental laws and government in

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 Neolithic Revolution made government more important. During the change from more nomadic ways of life to a more settled way of life there were some huge things that happened that made government more important. Rules and laws were set in place because there were thousands and thousands of more people in a smaller area, large projects could be made very fast, and the creation of social classes all made government more important.

The Neolithic Revolution was the major change in human life caused by the beginnings of farming. This revolution changed people’s lives in several ways. It changed the way people lived because before the Neolithic Revolution they relied on hunting and gathering food. It also changed the way they settled, because of this revolution they were able to live in villages for a long time, unlike before; they had to relocate often because their food source would become scarce.  The way civilizations lived changed because of the Neolithic Revolution. A civilization is a form of culture that consists of cities, advanced technology, specialized workers, complex institutions, and record keeping. The early river valley civilizations; which developed in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus, and China, had more similarities than differences. The river valley civilizations were similar when it came to their writing systems, inventions, and geography. However, they were also different when it came to writing systems and inventions.

The Neolithic revolution has influenced encompassing the centuries 13,000 B.C to 5000 B.C in many continents changed society from hunter-gatherer to agriculture. Along with this came change in life style, human dynamics and population. Throughout its discovery revealed down faults and successes that created our current agriculture. Discoveries such as clothing, wovel, makeup products were essential for individuals. Neolithic Revolution is one of human kinds greatest successes but also brought tragedy into the form of disease that killed wide swaths of people.

In modern, day, the majority believe that society has progressed and changed for the better. They believe that with the rise of technology, lives have gotten easier and more efficient, and thus better but many argue the other side. They say that with technology, quality of human life has decreased in many areas. One major area this debate is the shift to agriculture and farming. Before the Neolithic revolution, there were two main ways of feeding the populace. One was hunting for animals and the other was to gather different foods such as fruits and nuts. After the Neolithic revolution, however, farming came to rise and people relied on growing their own crops to provide food. The benefits

These new changes include urbanization, changes in demographics, economical advancements, advances in politics, and more intellectual thinking. Urbanization was one of the main results that came from agriculture, as agriculture allowed people to stay in one place, they needed to build homes to live in (Reilly, p. 32-34). People began living in compounds together, then villages that had fixed property, public space, and were ruled by the elders. Finally, once societies were fully agrarian, city-states began to emerge with social stratifications, militaries, and ceremonial centers (Eichler, 9 Sept. 2016). Agriculture also increased demographics across the world, since people could now produce an abundance of food. This abundance of food meant that societies could sustain more people. The increase in population meant that not everyone had to farm, because one farmer could provide food for a multiple people, leaving people with more free time that was eventually used to make economic, political, and intellectual advances. The free time that agriculture provided people with was used to create political and legal systems, and from that came a need for writing because city-states needed a way of keeping records. Furthermore, as city-states grew and interacted with each other, they began to trade, which led to the first monetary systems. Finally, the shift

The Neolithic Revolution was the start of a new way of living. Around 10,000 years ago, people started to settle down to live in one place. During the Paleolithic Era people were nomadic, so they kept on moving from place to place. They are hunter and gatherers which means that they would stay close to the animals as that is their only source of food. They would live in small populations because they

Some people were classed higher than others socially and affected their political power. In the Neolithic revolution some farmers usually quit their job as farmers, which was on the lowest social class switched their jobs and started making tools, which boosted their social class. Also if a city produced more crops and animals it

The Neolithic Revolution (or The Agricultural Revolution) was a shift from food gathering to food producing; a significant change in people's lives. This allowed them to settle and farm instead of their former way of life, which consisted of frequently moving with the seasons and following game; being hunter-gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution was a massive step towards modern-day civilization and allowed our ancestors to create settlements with sustainable resources. The Neolithic Revolution occurred during the New Stone Age, also known as the Neolithic Age.

The Neolithic Revolution was the first agricultural revolution?the transition from hunting and gathering communities and bands, to agriculture and settlement (settlement is currently being questioned). Archaeological data indicate that various forms of domestication of plants and animals arose independently in at least 7-8 separate locales worldwide, with the earliest known developments taking place in the Middle East around 10,000 BC (BCE) or

The rise of social class was a also a change brought in during the Neolithic revolution. Level in civilization was a key to your social class. Being in the Empire was the highest social class of this time. Next came kingdoms and lastly city-states. A big increase in food caused the divide of social classes. A rise in population also

First, we have the change from nomadic, hunters and scavengers, life to civilizations that grew from hundreds to thousands, and then to millions of people. This change took thousands of years to happen with one of the first civilizations to be the Sumer, a city-state. During this time people learned how to farm by domesticating crops, working together, and having people have job specializations, helping thing become more productive. The Neolithic Revolution changed the world forever people know relied on other people to contribute their job for the greater good of everyone.

Archaeologists often associate regions such as the Near East and Egypt, the Neolithic period and the formation of states often pose a pivotal point for many civilizations. At a high-level, the Neolithic period represents an era where humans began utilizing relatively contemporary hand tools. Examples include, but are not limited to, weaponry and chisels. The Neolithic era started approximately in 10,000 BC, and ended as late as 2500 BC (Department of Asian Art 2000). The concept of a state and its formation is in reference to the development of a central government, which then provides a region an unprecedented sense of autonomy and existence. Both of the aforementioned concepts can be seen as interconnected. Some of the earliest signs of state formation can be seen as early as 3000 BC. The approximate dates that have been mentioned are general, and are applicable at a global level. However, different regions reached different eras in their own ways. To analyse the process of going from stone tools to states, a look can be taken at northern China and Southeast Asia (Department of Asian Art 2000). The Neolithic settlements of concern are Nanzhuangtou in Northern China and the Hoabinhian in modern day Vietnam (Mourer 1977). The aforementioned Neolithic settlements were eventually succeeded by the formation of states, which can be loosely seen as an evolution of regional populations and development.

In the time of The Neolithic Revolution, there was a big change from 10,000 B.C. through 5,000 B.C. there was 2 major changes that happened. The first one was crops grew in Middle East to make food to eat and survive. The second one was invention of wheel, used for transportation to travel to different places. In Document 1 of Early People and the Neolithic Revolution it shows the improvement from hunting and gathering to having stonework, their own crops and animal, most likely their own resources. Also according to Document 2 it changed people’s lives for example, Ulana and her friends. They have all the resources they need not only for food but things like wood and bricks to build shelter (houses)/villages.
