Detailed explanation-1: -Over time, the development of agriculture resulted in people creating permanent settlements. Ancient people started to domesticate animals (the cow and pig for example) and invent new tools, like the plow, which made farming easier. Since there was a surplus of food in the villages, many people could pursue other jobs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first is that increased usage of iron ploughshares resulted in higher grain yields. An iron ploughshare may turn over heavy, clayey soil better than a wooden ploughshare. The second reason is that people started farming paddy.
Detailed explanation-3: -The development of early farm equipment throughout India was heavily inspired by technological breakthroughs in Britain. Horse-drawn gear brought from England was adapted to fit Indian harness animals, and so mouldboard ploughs, disc harrows, and cultivators have been introduced within India.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
