Agricultural Revolution


The Agricultural revolution can be described at least partly as a settling process, principally involved with the raising of crops. However, it is more generally tied to domestication, and includes the development of nomadism, which involves following or moving of herds of at least partly domesticated animals. It is also described, in historical terms, as the Neolithic revolution, or New Stone Age. There are numerous other changes and movements that are at least somewhat affiliated with this change.
