During the start of the Neolithic Revolution, hunter-gatherers were starting to learn how hunter and domesticate animal to help with hunting, breeding or to be eaten. Even though word writing wasn’t a thing back during the Neolithic Revolution, a form of writing Man did use was cave paintings. Cave paintings were a form of writing they used to tell stories or hunting methods to share with their children and the children will tell their children and so on. Cave paintings are now one of the ways we can see what happened before, during and after the Neolithic Revolution. Archaeologists are still finding more cave paintings all around the world to this day and all of them are unique in more ways than one.

I feel like the domestication of fire, wolfs, and the development of strategic hunting were big advancements for the neolithic revolution. The domestication of fire allowed cooking and the ability to store food, the ability to fend off the cold and night, and the ability to make new materials. The taming of wolfs made access to protection against predators, help with hunting, and if needed a food source. Now developing strategic hunting helped developed more complex communication, and effective hunting making more of a surplus of food. These three advancements in the neolithic revolution helped make a surplus of food which led to settlement and on to civilization

In the Neolithic Revolution the Neolithic man managed to domesticate several animals, such as wolves, pigs, chickens, horses, and cows. This was important because it allowed them to have more animals and more meat due to how quickly some of the animals reproduced, it helped them create animals that aided them in transporting things, like horses. In the Neolithic Revolution, the Neolithic man also transitioned to farmers from hunter gatherers. This was important because it allowed them to stay in one area and have more people in their group which made more cultural diffusion and helped them make a food surplus.

Towards the "end" of the neolithic revolution, more solidified settlements started developing. They were allowed to develop because of bountiful harvests from newly domesticated crops like rice creating a food surplus and freeing up labor. Some of that labor went to metal working and gathering, allowing new possibilities for new and better tools. Of course, if you have something others want, force enters the equation, so walls and defenses must be prepared around the important thing, like food stores, temples, and the rich.
