Neolithic Revolution was an agricultural revolution
The agricultural revolution had a variety of consequences for humans.
It has been linked to everything from societal inequality—a result of
humans’ increased dependence on the land and fears of scarcity—to a
decline in nutrition and a rise in infectious diseases contracted from
domesticated animals. But the new period also ushered in the potential
for modern societies—civilizations characterized by large population
centers, improved technology and advancements in knowledge, arts, and
trade
