Detailed explanation-1: -What is the main reason that early peoples in the Americas began to live in larger, more settled villages ? They developed agriculture.
Detailed explanation-2: -What happened when the early peoples of America began to farm? When the early Americans began farming more people were able to be fed and less died from starvation. Civilizations were able to be built because jobs and more free time were created.
Detailed explanation-3: -As these early farmers became better at cultivating food, they may have produced surplus seeds and crops that required storage. This would have both spurred population growth because of more consistent food availability and required a more settled way of life with the need to store seeds and tend crops.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Sussman, the increase in population size during the Neolithic was mainly a result of a reduction in group mobility, which allowed a short-er child-spacing period and thus an increase in fertility.
Detailed explanation-5: -Farming meant that people did not need to travel to find food. Instead, they began to live in settled communities, and grew crops or raised animals on nearby land. They built stronger, more permanent homes and surrounded their settlements with walls to protect themselves.
