The Neolithic Revolution followed a time when people were what was called nomads. Nomads were people who lived in groups and moved from place to place and never really stayed in one place too long.They hunted food with spears and other such sharp objects. They were like cavemen.
It appears that the action of being sexist was historical because while the men went hunting for animals to bring home for women to cook, the women stayed home and gathered fruits.
This was the period of time that brought about spears and axes that were made and formed form bone, wood, and stone. This way of life came to a halt in about 10,000 BCE because of the discovery of the cultivation of crops and domesticate animals.
This change is called the Neolithic Revolution. This new system of things brought about agriculture which led to the extinction of nomads and the creation of permanent housing. With the creation of homes came villages which divided the people into different social classes. This put the more endowed above the less endowed. This action was determined by what you did for a living. You were judged if you were a farmer, craftsman, priest, or warrior.
With these different social classes came the Council of Elders who were in charge of each village. From the transformation of hunters into gentlemen, those men became great warriors because of their methods of weaponry and skill.
Even though the inventive tools produced by the nomads were good, they were still not great. Neolithic farmers invented a calendar to keep track of the progress of their crops during planting and harvesting time. They also created metal tools to help out on the fields, like plows.
Some of the earlier nomads that decided to settle,stayed in the fertile valleys of the Nile, Tigris-Euphrates,Yellow, and Indus Rivers because the water form these valleys made the soil rich and easier to plant crops in.
The Neolithic Revolution is an important time in history because of its impact on our world today. Some of these great civilizations turned into what is now Europe, Mesopotamia, China , and India.
