Evolution of Farming in the Neolithic Age

The Neolithic Age, also known as the New Stone Age, marks the shift from food gatherers to food producers through the farming practices. This era saw the Neolithic Revolution with discoveries such as agriculture, herding, and permanent shelters leading to increased food supply, healthier lives, and the beginning of civilization. Parts of the world like SW Asia and E. Asia developed agriculture differently, growing wheat, barley, millet, rice, and soybeans. Herding evolved as men domesticated animals, eventually leading to specialization of labor and population growth.
