Neolithic Revolution







*The Neolithic Revolution is the term also know as the first Agricultural Revolution, that describes the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture. This revolution was a time period about 10, 000 years ago when everything changed from hard to easy. This means that from hunting and gathering that was very dangerous many went to domesticating animals and plants. Due to this many men changed from cave men to farmers that worked really hard in order to live and have land. There was many advantages due to this change that many settled down and started to grow more food and their population started to increase. Many new cities were formed in river valleys because they had rich soil for farming. There was 4 major rivers named that were the Nile (Africa), Tigris-Euphrates(Mesopotamia), Yellow(China) and Indus(India) Rivers. Due to this places that were organized and very wealthy advanced civilizations began to start. This Revolution was a major event thoughout history because it showed how people lived and how they worked hard in order to live. Many people now would not even be alive because they were starving to death and had no place to live. So, because of this they learned to domesticate animals and plants that was very important in order to live.!
