By the time that classical period arose for the both the Han and Roman empires technological improvements were in high demand, the need for tools to work the earth increasing.

    1. The neolithic revolution was the period in time in which the introduction of agriculture led people to transition from the wandering nomadic lifestyle to settled life. During this time, nomads, or people who wandered from place to place in search of food, began to domesticate animals and crops so that they no longer had to follow or hunt for their food sources; because of this, these former nomads were able to create farms using the crops they domesticated and settlements and were able to use their domesticated animals, not only as a source of food, but also as a source of companionship, a tool to assist with farm labor, and for transportation. The development of farming spread to other areas of society as well, as the creation of new tools for farming, new types of shelter, and clothing among other things began to emerge. As time went on, the techniques and tools used for farming were improved and new tools to assist in the storing, sowing, planting of seeds, and measuring of time were created; these innovations caused farms to create surpluses of food, which lead to the growth of population and the…

    Many might not acknowledge how much of an impact food has made in shaping the society in which we live. Another unknown detail is that the use of farming is very recent to our knowledge. Dating to about 11,000 years ago, farming has played a key role in the evolution of mankind. About 11,000 years ago humans started to cultivate food intentionally. This process of cultivating food is known as “farming” and it started taking hold in the Near Eastern part of the world at about 8,500 B.C. This is astonishing considering the first trace of man dates back to 150,000 years.…

    The Agricultural Revolution refers to a time between 100 B.C. and A.D. 800 (Howell et al. 7) where crops were domesticated, causing an accelerated development in Native American culture. This development in culture presented in several ways, the first being the attitudes towards women. Because it was the women who learned how to and remained in charge cultivating the crops, they were treated with more esteem. Women eventually learned to raise several different types of crops which allowed them to focus more on framing than gathering. The primary duties also changed for men as the need for hunting was reduced, this allowed men to have more specific jobs that supported the advancement of society rather than just survival.…

    The revolution I chose to discuss out of the two was the Neolithic Revolution. Two archaeological theories I best chose on why these Revolutions occurred through change over time was, V. Gordon Chlide's "Oasis theory" and the "Edge zone theory" by Lewis Binford and Kent Flannery. These two theories show the possible reasons for adopting farming and domesticating animals where and why they did. For example, in Chlide's "Oasis theroy" he tells us that he believed the period of dry weather in the East along with the last Ice Age is what provoked the accumulation of people, plants and animals all fleeing to the last small bodies of water available. Hence forming Chlide's "Oasis Theory", which I agree with Chlide's reasoning's behind his theory because the plants depend on the water, the animals depend on the plants, and the people depend on both the plants and the animals.…
