When one mentions the Neolithic Revolution, one would also mention what a great success the revolution was. However many have confused the difference between the Neolithic Revolution with an Era with a similar name, the Paleolithic Era.

They also bred the animals they have captured to their advantage. Their population grew and a civilization began!!!

Without the revolution the human race would not have advanced further than living in caves and continuing their hunting and gathering days. The modern world would never exist.

Each and every day the humans were learning something new about planting seeds or creating material to build houses with. Their ability to manipulate and shape nature was growing.
The animals were no longer used mainly for eating right after they have been hunted. The humans have begun learning to domesticate the animals. Certain animals were used to produce milk for protein. The
