Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first Neolithic communities lived in densely built settlements and numbered 50-300 individuals. During the Pre-Pottery, Early and Middle Neolithic, the basic unit of society was the clan or extended family that consisted of parents, children, grandparents and other close kinship.

Detailed explanation-2: -One part of humankind turned its back on foraging and embraced agriculture. The adoption of farming brought with it further transformations.
