Without the impeccable advancement and basic idea of civilization, many of our accomplishments and progressions would have never been as strong, or even completed generally.

The rapid populace growth led to increased interactions between humans, which spurred the development of public marketplaces and eventually cities. Starting in Mesopotamia, a fertile valley fastened between the Euphrates and the Tigris, the distinction between cities and adjacent farming lands became…

The Neolithic Revolution was a major turning point in Human history. At this point in time, humans replaced hunting and gathering with the domestication of animals and growing plants. This occurred about 10,000 BC. This change leads to an increase in population. It also caused humans to develop permanent settlements and live in larger groups. Before the change from hunting and gathering to the growing of plants,humans were nomads. They lived in very small groups in order to be able to provide…
