Description
After the last ice age, humans began to establish more permanent farming-based communities across the globe. This agricultural revolution is among the most significant transformations human societies have undergone. Agriculture resulted in an abundance of food, which allowed for the emergence of specialization and social stratification. In this unit, students will increase their understanding of the agricultural revolution and its impact on the evolution of civilization.
