The Agricultural Revolution

The Agricultural Revolution, occurring around 10,000 years ago, marks the transition from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled farming communities. People began domesticating plants and animals, leading to the growth of crops and livestock for food. This shift allowed for food surpluses, enabling larger populations, the development of villages, and the establishment of complex societies. It fundamentally changed human lifestyles, economies, and social structures, paving the way for advancements in technology and culture, influencing civilization as we know it today.
