WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Neolithic Revolution, or the (First) Agricultural Revolution, was the wide-scale transition of many human cultures during the Neolithic period from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement, making an increasingly large population possible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Archaeological evidence suggests one of the main reasons for this change may have been local climate change, which occurred after the Ice Age and created an environment ideal for farming. Food surpluses may also have encouraged people to stay in one place longer and find new ways to grow and tend the food they needed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Industrial Revolution contributed to the rise of factories, creating a demand for workers in urban areas. Over the next century, millions of people in the United States and England moved from farms to cities.

Detailed explanation-4: -When early humans began farming, they were able to produce enough food that they no longer had to migrate to their food source. This meant they could build permanent structures, and develop villages, towns, and eventually even cities. Closely connected to the rise of settled societies was an increase in population.

Detailed explanation-5: -What happened as a result of humans settling down into agricultural villages? Social roles and work definition began to change. Why did a division of labor occur when people started to produce a surplus of food? People were left with time to do other jobs.
