From about 40000bc to 6000bc humans lived a nomadic lifestle. Nomadic means they did not live in one place,but instead they were constantly moving in order to stay alive. They lived a hunter-gatherer life. This means woud hunter and gather their food. They live in small groups and their skills were very basic. The Agricultural Revolution changed they way humans lived their lives. Agricultural Revolution was the change from hunting and gathering to producing food. The Agricultural Revolution started because nomadic women started to place the food seeds in the ground about 10000 years ago. When they returned the next year they found crops had grown. Humans now realized they could produce their food instead of having to hunt for it. Agriculture Revolution was helped due to improving climate and technology. The world became warmer which helped crops grow. Also new tools such as the plough and wheel helped crops grow. Also new tools such as the plough and wheel helped cultivate more land. Animals were tamed and started to be used on these farms to help produce more food. The Agricultural Revolution led to a major surplus (extra amount) of grain was produced. Consequently people could live in one place and use the extra grain to survive the winter months. Villages started to increase in population as people started to settle down. The surplus of grain also allowed people to do other things apart from fgarming. As a result new profressions like craaftsman,builder,trader,started to develop. As the villages developed the process of socialization occured. Complex institutions such as goverment and religion started to develop. Different human culyures started to develop
