Neolithic (8000 BC – 4000 BC)

 

 

 The Neolithic period, also known as the New Stone Age, lasted from approximately 8000 BCE to 4000 BCE. This period saw significant advancements in human technology and culture, including the development of agriculture, animal domestication, and the use of more advanced tools and weapons.

            During the Neolithic period, humans began to domesticate plants and animals, which allowed for a more reliable food supply and the development of settled communities. This led to the establishment of the first agricultural societies, as well as the development of complex social and economic systems. Humans also began to build more sophisticated dwellings and structures, such as houses made of mud-bricks and stone.

                The use of advanced tools and weapons also developed during the Neolithic period. Humans developed new types of stone tools, such as polished axes and sickles, which allowed for more efficient farming and food production. The development of metallurgy also allowed for the creation of more advanced tools and weapons made of bronze.

                    The Neolithic period also saw significant advancements in art and culture. Humans created intricate pottery, textiles, and jewelry, and developed new forms of artistic expression such as dance and music. Religion also played an important role in Neolithic societies, as evidenced by the presence of religious symbols and temples.

                    Overall, the Neolithic period was a time of significant cultural, social, and technological development. It marked the beginning of the agricultural revolution and laid the foundation for the development of human civilization as we know it today.
