The shift from hunter-gatherer societies to agricultural and sedentary lifestyles marked a pivotal moment in human history. This transition, known as the Neolithic Revolution, occurred independently across the globe between 10,000 and 4,000 years ago, driven by climate change, population pressure, and technological innovations. Agriculture and sedentism led to surplus food production, enabling population growth and the rise of permanent settlements.
