The Neolithic Revolution AIM : How did the Neolithic Revolution change how civilizations develop?

The Neolithic Revolution marked a transformative period where humans transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities. This change, occurring between 9000 BC and 3000 BC, allowed for the establishment of reliable food sources and the growth of population centers. Settlements fostered the development of social structures, governance, and technological advancements such as pottery and writing. The consequent specialization of labor and the emergence of social hierarchies paved the way for complex civilizations and cultural diffusion, fundamentally altering human life and societal organization. ### Relevant
