Researchers at excavation site in Spain find new evidence of Neolithic revolution
Humans began to transition from small nomadic bands to early agricultural civilizations during the Neolithic period. According to National Geographic, historians have several theories about why the Neolithic Revolution, also known as the Agricultural Revolution, began: overpopulation, reliance on certain plants, and even the creation of a more cohesive, productive society. The Neolithic fundamentally changed the way humans interacted with the land, animals, and each other, and the organizational practices developed during this time can be traced to the present day, making this period responsible for one of the most important revolutions in human history.
