The transition from the the Old Stone Age (Paleolithic) to the New Stone Age (Neolithic) marked a pivotal point the history of mankind. A revolutionary new way of life resulted in new beliefs, cultures, and artwork. The days of primitive rock drawings/carvings gave way to new, more advanced forms of art such as pots and physical structures.
The Neolithic era began in modern day Iraq between 9000 to 6000 B.C. The major turning point in human history was that people settled down and developed a life of agriculture. Gone were the days of nomadic tribes that constantly moved from place to place in search of new food. The agricultural revolution allowed humans to build villages, cultivate fields, and live in the same place for extended periods
