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…

Argument found in 13th: Government and corporations purposely try to detain all colored people by scripting laws in their favor.

A company…
