Evolution of Early Human Societies

Early human societies evolved from small, nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers, who relied on the environment for food and resources. As agriculture began around 10,000 years ago, people transitioned to settled farming communities, leading to population growth and the development of villages. This agricultural revolution fostered social organization, trade, and the formation of specialized roles. Over time, larger societies emerged, culminating in complex civilizations with cities, governance, and cultural advancements. These changes laid the groundwork for modern societies and influenced economic, social, and political structures that continue to shape human life today.
