Neolithic Societies: Division of Labor and Social Hierarchy

The Neolithic period marked a significant transformation in human societies, characterized by the division of labor, land clearing, and the advent of irrigation. As populations grew due to increased food production and livestock breeding, new skills and trades such as mining, weaving, and metallurgy emerged. Trade became essential, allowing the exchange of goods through bartering. Political power dynamics shifted, with strong councils and village councils emerging to coordinate community decisions. This era laid the groundwork for more complex social structures and interactions.
