Agriculture Revolution

The Agriculture Revolution, also known as the Neolithic Revolution, refers to the significant transformation in human societies that occurred around 10,000 BCE when humans transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyles to settled agricultural communities. This period marked the domestication of plants and animals, allowing people to cultivate crops and raise livestock systematically. The Agriculture Revolution led to increased food production, which supported larger populations and the establishment of permanent settlements. This shift laid the foundational changes in societal structures, economies, and technologies, enabling the development of complex societies and civilizations. The revolution had profound implications for human history, as it fostered advancements in trade, social organization, and technological innovation. It ultimately shaped the course of humanity by providing the means for population growth and the rise of cities.
