Detailed explanation-1: -Why are the roots of the Neolithic Revolution traced to the development of farming? Farming provided more wealth than hunting and gathering. Farming taught people new skills necessary for planning cities. Farming allowed people to live in permanent villages year-round.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most archaeologists believed this sudden blossoming of civilization was driven largely by environmental changes: a gradual warming as the Ice Age ended that allowed some people to begin cultivating plants and herding animals in abundance. One part of humankind turned its back on foraging and embraced agriculture.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the Neolithic Age, humans grew their own food, built permanent shelters, and settled down in one place. Neolithic settlements were located east of the Mediterranean Sea because the land was fertile.
Detailed explanation-4: -How did the social structure develop in settled farming villages during the Neolithic Revolution? Men began to dominate social, political, and economic life. How did food surpluses change the way of life in early human settlements? Villages needed to organize governments.
