    This document discusses the Neolithic Revolution and the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agricultural societies between 10,000-4,000 BC. The adoption of agriculture led humans to settle in one place rather than be nomadic, resulting in population growth and the establishment of permanent settlements. Key effects were cultivating staple crops, domesticating animals, and having surplus food, allowing for the development of cities, technologies, writing systems, specialized workers, and complex institutions - characteristics needed for early civilizations to form. Mesopotamia is provided as an example civilization that emerged during this period.
