Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Farming began a process of intensification, which meant that many more people could be sustained in a given land area since more calories could be produced per acre. As a result, the world population rapidly rose. Between 10, 000 and 1000 BCE, the population of the world went from about 6 million to about 120 million.

Detailed explanation-2: -In early agrarian civilizations, the natural environment had a huge impact on culture, from beliefs about the gods and afterlife to how isolationist or outward looking each civilization was. Much of it can be traced back to the features and behaviors of the rivers around which they lived.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thanks to agriculture, people could grow more food than they needed and save the extra for the future. This let the population size increase, and the small bands of hunter-gatherers turned into towns with hundreds of people.

Detailed explanation-4: -People had too little food, too much disease, shabby clothes, and inadequate shelters. Human filth was inescapable. But past cultures also experienced more obscure problems. From supplemental fungus ingestion to prehistoric lead exposure and even prehistoric bedbug infestations, history is full of fascinating problems.
