In this process, societies produce new forms of subsistence, acquire more

The women, on the other hand, are responsible for the collection of vegetation, berries, and small edible crops.
Hunting and Gathering
Because of this set-up, scientist describe the relationship between men, and women as being equal.
Hunting and Gathering
During the Paleolithic period (2,500,000-10,000 BCE) people are nomadic, these societies lived in small groups with
only 20 to 30 members and if there were abundant supply of food, members increase to 40 to 50 members.
Hunting and Gathering
develop around 10,000 years ago and they described as semi sedentary societies.
Horticultural societies
These societies subsist through small-scale farming.
Horticultural societies
They produce and use simple forms of hand tools to plant crops like hoes and
digging sticks to bore holes in the grounds for seed planting.
Horticultural societies
there is a surplus of food, because food supply is more than enough to feed the members of the
society.
Horticultural societies
develop around 10,000 years ago, pastoralist societies developed in dry regions of the world where raising crops was not possible.
Pastoral societies
These societies are classified as animal herders and subsist based on the resources provided by
their animals.
Pastoral societies
As opposed to hunting and gathering societies, ________ are described as having unequal
social relations because some members act as the ruling elite.

During the______ the barter system started.
horticultural and pastoral society
_______ began during Neolithic period. During this time, Neolithic Revolution occurred.
Agricultural societies

Agricultural societies
Animal domestication provided important contributions to the Neolithic people.
Agricultural societies
Sheep, goats and pigs were the first animal domesticated in the West Asia between 8500 and 7000 BCE.
Agricultural societies
The domestication of cattle and sheep provided the Neolithic people with additional sources of
nutrition.
Agricultural societies
Animal meat, for example, provided them with more sources of protein while animal hides (skin)
served as materials for clothes.
Agricultural societies
Animal horns and bones were also utilized for making needles and other
utensils while animal manure was used as soil fertilizers.
Agricultural societies
