Before we discuss Neolithic Revolution, let’s have a quick review on Paleolithic period.
- Humans survived by hunting and gathering food sources.
- These early humans lived in bands of no more than 2 or three dozen people.
- Men were the usual hunters.
- Women, gatherers.
About 10,000 years ago, after some of the women scattered seeds near a regular campsite, they found new crops growing. And this discovery would usher in Neolithic Revolution.
Neolithic Revolution
- Agricultural revolution
- These are far-reaching changes in human life that resulted from the beginnings of farming.
- The shift from food-gathering to food producing culture represents one of the great breakthroughs in human history.
What might have caused Agricultural Revolution?
- Scientists do not know exactly why this revolution occurred but they have suggested some key factors that could have caused such a historical breakthrough.
• CLIMATE CHANGE
o Rising temperature
This provided longer growing seasons and drier land good enough for cultivating wild grasses.
Rich supply of grain helped support a small population boom. And as populations slowly rose, then nomadic people felt pressure to find new food sources. And FARMING offered an attractive alternative because farming provided a steady source of food.
The early form of farming method is the Slash and Burn Farming.
In this method, farmers cut trees/grasses and burned them to clear a field. Then ashes fertilized the soil. Normally, farmers planted crops for a year or two, and then they moved on to another area of land.
Scholars would suggest that food gatherer’s understanding of plants spurred the development of farming. Hunter’s expert knowledge of wild animals, on the other hand, likely played a role in domestication.
Domestication
- Taming of animals (horses, dogs, goats, pigs)
- Stone Age hunters may have driven herd of animals into rocky ravines to be slaughtered
o This was the small step to drive herd into human-made enclosures.
From there, farmers could keep the animals as a constant source of food. Gradually, they tamed the animals.
- Not only farmers had the concept of domestication. Also, the pastoral nomads who tended sheep, goat, camels, and other animals.
Revolution in Jarmo
Archaeologist Robert Braidwood says the environmental conditions of this region in the Zagros Mountains, northeast of Iraq, favored the development of agriculture.
- Wild weat, barley, along with wild goats, pigs, sheep, and horses had once thrived near the Zagros mountains.
- Little did the farmers in Jarmo knew that they were already pioneering a new way of life.
- Villages such as Jarmo marked the beginning of a new era and laid the foundations for modern life.
Catal Huyuk
- Is an agricultural village found in South Central Turkey
- Showed benefits of settled life
- Farmers produced large crops of
o Wheat
o Barley
o Peas
- Villages raised
o Sheep
o Cattle
- There’s presence of pottery and weaving
- The village is known for its obsidian products.
- People in Catal Huyuk learned how to make mirrors, jewelry, and knives. And they learned how to trade them.
- Colorful wall paintings depicting animals and hunting scene were discovered in the area.
- And they had the concept of deity. (Mother Goddess, controller of supply of grain)
