•The shift of hunting
of animals and
gathering of food to
the domestication of
animals and the
systematic growing
of food.
•Systematic agriculture –
growing food on a regular
basis.
•Domestication of
animals- adapting
animals for human use.
•Use of bronze tools.
Copper + tin=bronze.
•Food Surplus –
plenty of food to
survive.
•With a food surplus,
population increases
and people are able to
work at jobs other
than farming.
•Artisans –
Skilled
workers who
made things
like weapons
or jewelry.
•Food was stored, which
caused people to specialize
in other jobs.
•People could barter or
trade for the food they
needed to survive.
•Communities settled in
larger cities, and built
stronger shelters.
•Trade began with other
people/cultures.
•Population density – the
average number of people
living in an area.
•The Neolithic Age also saw
a rise in diseases passed
between humans and
animals.(Flu, smallpox,
measles).
