Neolithic era

The Neolithic era, often called the New Stone Age, began around 10,000 BCE and marked a significant shift in human history. During this time, people transitioned from nomadic lifestyles of hunting and gathering to settled farming communities. They domesticated plants and animals, which allowed them to produce food consistently. This agricultural revolution led to the development of villages, the rise of social structures, and advancements in tools and pottery. The Neolithic era laid the foundation for modern society by enabling population growth, trade, and the eventual emergence of cities and civilizations.
