4355679943What accounts for the emergence of agriculture after countless millennia of human life without it?The occurrence of the end of the Ice Age period explains why the rise of Agriculture suddenly showed up after such a long amount of time. The period forced the migration of homo sapiens across the planet and created new conditions to where agriculture was even possible. Climate change was the main cause. It allowed more wild plants to grow, in which the people now in those flourishing areas of the world were to learn a deep understanding of the natural world around them. Making them use those resources and finding different ways to build from them, therefore causing the emergence of agriculture.1
4355680929What are the accomplishments of gathering and hunting peoples that are examples of agricultural improvements?They learned to make usage of large numbers of plants and to hunt and eat both small and large animals, creating what archeologist call a "broad spectrum diet".Gatherers learned to make tools to cut grain and make baskets for carrying supplies and hunters built elaborate traps, also planters became smarter about how to cut back and make favorite harvest want to grow a little more than u2
4355683582In what different ways did the Agricultural Revolution take shape in the Fertile Crescent, Africa, the Americas, China, and New Guinea?The shape AR took in the Fertile Crescent was that it made that area come to use domestication, providing the foundation for the world's first, and most productive,agricultural societies after figs,wheat,barley,cattle,etc came under human control. In Africa, unlike the Fertile Crescent in farming, Africa witnessed the emergence of several widely scattered farming practices whereas FC was where the plants were domesticated in a small area. In The Americas,like Africa the domestication of plants occurred separately in a number of locations. But due to the absence of animals that could be domesticated they had to hunt and fish more that peoples in the Eastern Hemisphere. In New Guinea the Agricultural Revolution did not spread beyond its core region, their ways did not spread globally like the Fertile Crescents ways of agriculture, New Guinea's ways weren't shared.But they had strengths in growing bananas,yams and sugarcane they did not domesticate animals. In China they planted rice,millet, and soybeans, they domesticated pigs,chickens, and water buffalo.3
4355685267In what ways did agriculture spread? Where and why was it sometimes resisted?It occurred in diffusion, as in the gradual spread of agriculture techniques but without excessive movement of peoples.The other way involved the slow colonization or migration of agricultural people. In areas unsuitable for farming, such as harsh desert or arctic environments agriculture was sometimes resisted. Also in places where there was already a natural abundance they felt there was little need for the use of agriculture. But seeing that neighboring farmers took on the practice they resisted preferring the freer life than their Paleolithic ancestors.4
4355687246Explain the development and movement of the Bantu migrations?From what is now southern Nigeria to Cameroon, Bantu speaking people, moved East to South taking with them their agricultural cattle raising, and later developing in ironworking skills as well as their languages.5
4355688285What was revolutionary about the Agricultural Revolution?That through new and developing ways of harvesting, hunting or domesticating, people found a simpler way to live instead of moving around all of the time, that was truly revolutionary.

4355690517What different kinds of societies emerged out of the Agricultural Revolution?Pastoral Societies, Agricultural Village Societies, and Chiefdoms.8
4355691698Compare the roles of women in pastoral societies with early agricultural village societies.The roles of women in pastoral socities were more divided than the males role, They would most likely milk a cow or gather things instead of doing hard heavy work.It was very divided in the pastoral socities and males were more dominant. In early Agricultural village societies there wasn't much evidence of domination of either sex it was almost equal though males were closer to hunting and females gathering.9
4355695374The Agricultural Revolution marked a decisive turning point in human history. What evidence might you offer to support this claim, and how might you argue against it?The Agricultural Revolution marked a decisive turning point because it changed views on how to grow more crops and provide themselves with simpler and more solid way of living, which is a big turning point that it is said to have made. And against it I said it also had to be the Ice Age, not just the Agricultural Rev. that made that turning point because that event itself is what made agriculture even possible in the first place, by fertilizing the ground after all of the ice melted and the climate changing dramatically.10
4355696681"The Agricultural Revolution provides evidence for 'progress in human affairs." How would you evaluate this statement?People can settle down and form some kind of society (Government, Religion/value system, Growing Population, Specialization, Culture/art, Social Structure)11
