Early Village Societies

Early village societies were small communities formed by people who settled in a specific area and relied on farming, hunting, and gathering for their livelihoods. These societies typically developed around a central location where members shared resources, worked together, and established social roles. Over time, they learned to produce surplus food, which allowed population growth and the development of culture, crafts, and simple governance. These villages mark the beginning of organized human communities, laying the foundation for more complex civilizations. Their social structure was generally based on kinship and cooperation, enabling groups to survive and thrive in their environments.
