Neolithic
October 26
As the ice age ended and the climate warmed, many nomads
move into areas with mild climate and fertile land. People
began to stay in one place and grow grains and vegetables.
Gradually farming replaced hunting and gathering as the main
source of food. At the same time, people began to domesticate
animals. This change in the way people lived marked the
beginning of the Neolithic Age. Neolithic is a Greek word that
means “new stone”.

Because of farming and domestication of
animals, Neolithic people began to take part in
economic activities other than farming.
Specialization occurred for the first time.
Specialization is the act of training for a specific
job.
