WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Neolithic Revolution, also called the Agricultural Revolution, marked the transition in human history from small, nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers to larger, agricultural settlements and early civilization.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wild grains were collected and eaten from at least 105, 000 years ago. However, domestication did not occur until much later. The earliest evidence of small-scale cultivation of edible grasses is from around 21, 000 BC with the Ohalo II people on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Detailed explanation-3: -The discovery of fire by the hunter-gatherers enabled them to cook food, use fire for protection from wild animals and use the heat to survive during the winters.

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: -The first agriculture appears to have developed at the closing of the last Pleistocene glacial period, or Ice Age (about 11, 700 years ago).

Detailed explanation-6: -Hunter-gatherer culture was the way of life for early humans until around 11, 000 to 12, 000 years ago. The lifestyle of hunter-gatherers was based on hunting animals and foraging for food.
