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.

Science including physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth science, and biology may be useful. Personal studies including the human body, psychology, and biography will be useful. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups will be essential. Connections to culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture will be useful. Institutions including families, education, economics, government, and religion will be significant.	Links to other sites
This is closely connected to other social structure and change. Communities will be useful in giving examples of it. Peoples of the world including particulr nations, Western Civilization, Asiatic peoples, African peoples, and American indian peoples can be considered. History is vital in investigating this subject. The changes that are called the agricultural revolution began in prehistory. Early prehistory is not really applicable, but these changes began in middle prehistory, accelerated in late prehistory, and continued into antiquity. This process had been largely overtaken by Agrarian movements in classical and medieval times, including early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medieval times. It was tentatively identified as a process in modern times. In the 16th. 17th, 18th, and 19th it was largely unreognized, but archeological studies in the 20th century were helpful in identifying it. Its future is unclear.
