Neolithic Age

The Neolithic Age, often called the New Stone Age, began around 10,000 BCE and marked a significant shift in human history. During this period, people transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering to settled farming communities. They began to domesticate plants and animals, leading to the establishment of agriculture, which enabled population growth and the development of villages and societies. This era also saw advancements in tools and pottery, as well as the beginnings of trade and social structures, setting the foundation for modern civilization.
