  1. Neolithic Revolution

  2. Why? Around 3,000 BCE, cities began to pop up. These cities could NOT have come about without agriculture.

  3. Discuss Before agriculture, what method did humans use to get food? What were this method’s limitations?

  4. Neolithic Revolution • From 8,000 to 4,000 BCE, the Neolithic Revolution occurred. • This means that agriculture and domestication of animals became the main source of food. • Growing of crops and use of animals for meat, milk and wool

  5. Agriculture Farming spread from Southwest Asia to Southeast Europe, and then to the rest of Europe. Wheat and barley were grown first in Egypt, bananas and yams in Africa, rice in Asia, and corn in the Americas.

  6. Neolithic Revolution • Agriculture lead to a surplus of food and allowed people to stay in one place. This caused cities. • CatalHuyuk in Turkey • Jericho in Palestine • Having extra food led to people having spare time. This caused them to become artisan (skilled workers)

  7. Think-Pair-Share Artisans made goods that were of value and this caused trade. What kinds of things do you think artisans made at this time?

  8. Effects of Neolithic Revolution Once people were sedentary, they needed homes. So they built homes. Stone tools went from rough blades, to better tools like axes and hoes. Men took more power in farming and herding, and women began to have more domestic jobs.

  9. End of Neolithic Age People began to use metal to create tools. This marks the end of the Neolithic Age. Civilizations came into existence (big cities) More people means growth of government (usually a monarchy).
