Neolithic transition

The Neolithic transition refers to the significant shift from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture-based communities around 10,000 years ago. During this period, humans learned to domesticate plants and animals, leading to settled lifestyles. This change allowed for larger populations, the development of permanent villages, and the eventual rise of complex societies. The Neolithic transition marked a pivotal moment in human history, as it laid the foundation for advancements in technology, trade, and culture, shaping the way we live today.
