The Neolithic Revolution
Agriculture


The Neolithic Revolution would have not been possible without the appearance of agriculture. The Neolithic Revolution occurred in the Neolithic Age when people changed from being hunters and gathers to being farmers. This was the beginning of agriculture. Before true agriculture could take place, various changes had to be made in the way early man lived. They had to discover that plants could be cultivated by the use of seeds. Next, tools had to be invented to make the planting and harvesting of the crops easier. Some plantations, such as vineyards, prevented a group of people from leaving to spot where it was planted. The effect of this was that man began to build houses and villages surrounding the plantation. This soon became a way of life. But man could not live on bread alone. He needed another staple, meat. To acquire this and keep the villages intact, man began to domesticate animals. Therefore hunters became herders and dogs became man’s best friend to help him with his work. Without agriculture, man might not have survived this long against the elements.
