When was the beginning of agriculture?
Because of this agricultural revolution, people could now farm instead of hunting and gathering. The Neolithic Revolution allowed people to settle down and live in one place. This led to permanent settlements and the development of group living. The Neolithic Revolution also led to the development of governments. People lived in settlements and they started dividing the work. They needed people to hunt, farm, cook, or do other jobs. Since everyone could not do the same thing, they needed organization. Also, with the discovery of agriculture people began to have food surpluses. This led to population growth and allowed people to trade or sell the extra food that they grew. This is why I think the Neolithic Revolution is the most significant event in the history of mankind.
