9th Grade Review - Neolithic Revolution

The Neolithic Revolution was the first agricultural revolution. It made hunters into farmers and hunting/gathering into farms and farmlands. Before the Neolithic Revolution people would go about hunting animals for food and would never stop going from place to place. When the animals were scares in a certain area the people would just move along never settling down. But because of the Neolithic Revolution people began to stop moving all around and began to build homes to stay in. Most of the time they settled near water because the soil was filled with water and such. Also the soil near the water was an ideal place to grow crops and take care of animals. Because people began to settle, civilizations grew and with it a social, political and economic system arose as well. The Revolution also made a surplus of foods because everyone farmed for themselves, in order to life not to make money. Not only that but since there was so much and there diets were much better, people lived a bit longer, thus the population grew as well. Lastly, there were technology advances among the people, there weren't like computer and such, but forks, spoon and knife made out of wood, or bones from animals they ate. On that note: the people also learned how to tame animals in farms, so they wouldn't have to hunt for them but they'll be right there at there disposal. Telling stories also became a part of it since people had free time. Well sort of.
