ancient agricultural societies

Ancient agricultural societies were communities that relied primarily on farming for food and livelihood. They developed techniques like planting crops and raising animals, which allowed them to settle in one place and grow larger communities. This shift from hunting and gathering helped support complex societies with social roles, trade, and culture. Innovations such as irrigation, plowing, and domestication of animals improved productivity. These societies laid the foundation for civilization, enabling the development of towns, cities, and advanced technologies. Their success depended on understanding the land, seasons, and sustainable farming practices, shaping human history and the environment.
