  1. Mr. McEntarfer * HSLPS Aim: How did the Neolithic Revolution change society? Do Now: What do you know about cavemen? Jot down up to three bullet points under the title “cavemen”.

  2. The Paleolithic Age Paleolithic – Old Stone Age • Paleolithic people lived in small hunting and gathering groups of about 20 to 30 people. Everyone contributed to feeding the group. Men hunted, while women and children hunted and gathered.

  3. Nomads • Paleolithic people were nomads, they moved from place to place following game animals and ripening fruit.

  5. The Last Ice Age • The last Ice Age ended about 12,000 B.C. The weather became warmer and as the ice glaciers receded (melted) it fed new rivers throughout the northern hemisphere. • The end of the Ice Age caused the ideal warm weather and water sources for farming.

  7. The Neolithic Revolution • Neolithic – New Stone Age • About 10,000 B.C. nomadic women realized how to farm from scattering seeds and discovering plant growth. They discovered farming or agriculture. By producing their own food they could stay in one place.

  8. Effects of Neolithic Revolution • Farming and the domestication (taming) of animals • Farmers settled into permanent villages instead of moving around • Food surpluses (extra food) created population explosions • Settlements and villages began to develop for the first time. • Specialized jobs developed, since farming took fewer people and new settlements needed warriors, leaders, businessmen, construction workers...
