The Agricultural/Neolithic Revolution
The Agricultural Revolution
The Agricultural Revolution was the most tremendous transition in history that dates back 10,000-12,000 years ago. This time period brought upon the human race spectacular advances, such as new ways of life, education upon irrigation, appropriation, writing, labor, trade, and tool making which all correlated to each other. Nevertheless, The Agricultural/Neolithic Revolution also had its disadvantages to society. Without a doubt, it is indisputable that the Agricultural Revolution was/is important, defines who we are today, and was predominantly advantageous to everyday living.

Patriarchy is the inequality in genders. The males had the upper hand and authority. Woman were associated as property that men owned (Seibert). There was, nor is there any evidence dating the exact event that began these gaps. Subsequently, surplus was a reason for these gaps.

People learned how to domesticate not only animals but plants as well. Farmers used the animals they tamed for labor, food, such as meat and milk, and leather goods. The domestication of plants was far more complicated. The wild progenitors of crops including wheat, barley, and peas are traced to the Near East region. Though the transition from wild harvesting was gradual, the switch from a nomadic to a settled way of life is marked by the appearance of early Neolithic villages with homes equipped with grinding stones for processing grain. The origins of rice and millet farming date to the same Neolithic period in China.
