WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Neolithic or agricultural revolution resulted in a demographic transition and major increases in population (Table 6.1) and population density (Table 6.3).

Detailed explanation-2: -By the time of the Industrial Revolution, there were more people than ever before. A main reason for this was 18th century agricultural improvements, which all but ended the periodic famines that had kept down European populations. From 1750 to 1850, the population of England alone nearly tripled.

Detailed explanation-3: -With industrialization, improvements in medical knowledge and public health, together with a more regular food supply, bring about a drastic reduction in the death rate but no corresponding decline in the birth rate. The result is a population explosion, as experienced in 19th-century Europe.

Detailed explanation-4: -After the agricultural revolution began about ten thousand years ago, more food could be produced, so a larger human population could be supported. With settlement and a greater food supply, death rates fell, and birth rates rose.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Agricultural Revolution was the unprecedented increase in agricultural production in Britain between the mid-17th and late 19th centuries. It preceded the Industrial Revolution and is often considered one of its causes.
