Neolithic Farming

Neolithic farming, also known as the New Stone Age farming, was a transformative period where humans shifted from hunting and gathering to growing crops and raising animals. This change allowed communities to settle in one place, leading to the development of villages and more stable food supplies. People learned to cultivate plants like wheat and barley and domesticated animals such as sheep and goats. This agricultural revolution increased food production, supported population growth, and set the foundation for more complex societies, advancing technology, craftsmanship, and social organization.
