Neolithic vs paleolithic

The Neolithic period is more advanced in lifestyle and technology than the Paleolithic period. During this time, farming comes into place and they found important use for animals. They domesticated or “tamed” sheep, dogs, cattle, etc. Having these animals helped with everyday work and farming. They used the large ones for food such as cattle and goats for milk and killed them during the winter for extra food and clothing. This increase in food gave opportunity to build special skills. These skills included; sewing, building, tool making, and even house building. The Neolithic period people lived in large quantities which became permanent. They could live in these large spots due to farming. This large population lead to sharing work responsibilities which improved food production. They traded goods along the east and around the Mediterranean, and later grew when they started to seek out goods that were not in their area. Housing became permanent enough to live and work. These houses lasted because they were made from mud and brick. They often used stone and branches to add strength. The changes from the Paleolithic period to the Neolithic period allowed people to live comfortable and stable lifestyles. As their technology grew, people wanted more resources to improve strength and the beauty of buildings, crafts, and tools. They began using wool, cotton, and silk for light weight clothing. In the Neolithic period they also used clay pottery for cooking and storing food, these changes in technology from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic period, improved quality and comfort of daily life.
