Neolithic era summary
During the Neolithic Agricultural Revoloution, humans went from gathering food to growing food, and began to store said food. They also began building villages, and permanent structures, which gave them more protection. During this time, humans also developed a counting system, which would later help them with counting crops and resouces.
Domestication of the cow
Who?
Where?
When?
Cows were originally domesticated around 10 thousand years ago.
The people who are thought to have first domesticated the cows were the neolithic farmers in the Near East.
Cows were domesticated in at least two places. The Near East (The Fertile Cresent) and the Indian subcontinent (The Indus Valley)
mesopotamia
Home to the world most ancient civilizations.
Mesopotamia a region of West Asia located between Tigris and Euphrates. The earliest developments of the Neolithic Revoloution, which was around 10,000 BCE, took place in Mesopotamia. It is known for having very important developments in history. Despite having no capital, Mesopotamia has many important cities, such as Uruk, one of the earliest major cities, Ur, the capital of southern Mesopotamia, Akkad, the capital of the Akkadian Empire, Babylon, a powerful city that served under several kings, Ashur, the original capital and religious center of the Assyrian Empire, and Nineveh, one of the biggest capitals of the Assyrian Empire.
Mesoamerica emerged from the complex cultures of indigenous people who populated its region.

Ancient Mesopotamia 101 by National Geographic is a 4 minute long video describing Mesopotamian history, lifestyles, and culture.
deserts shrinking
Due to rising global tempuratures, glaciers began melting. This caused the climate to grow humid, which ultimately resulted in deserts shrinking in size.
when was mesoamerica around?
Mesoamerica was present around 1500 BCE, as a cultural area and concept.
first move from africa
When the climate made it possible to migrate, modern humans moved to the Middle East.
warming latitudes
Modern humans moved across India into Southeast Asia to avoid cold climates
Squash cultivation
Squash seeds, rind fragments and stems found in White Cliff Cave show that America's agriculture began 10,000 years ago, about the same time as in the Middle East and Asia.
earliestt modern humans
New DNA and old human fossils show all modern humans descended from a female ancestor that lived in africa 200 thousand years ago.
LAND BRIDGE
As sea levels rose due to melting glaciers, modern humans had only a few thousand years to reach the Americas.
lowered sea levels
Due to glaciers being at an all time maximum, sea levels were severely low.
severe drought
In Africa, glaciers began to advance. This created a severe drought, which caused the following.
- Split modern humans up into small groups
- Severely endangered modern humans
earliest art forms
Cave paintings are the earliest known art. It is currently unknown why these paintings were created.
