Neolithic revolution in Japan

The Neolithic Revolution in Japan, occurring around 10,000 years ago, marked a shift from hunting and gathering to farming and settled communities. Early Japanese people began cultivating crops like millet and rice, and domesticating animals. This transition led to the development of permanent villages, more complex social structures, and advancements in pottery and tool use. It was a transformative period that laid the groundwork for later Japanese cultural and societal development, enabling population growth and more organized communities. This change reflects a global pattern where humans moved toward agriculture, significantly influencing their way of life.
