Chapter 3From Hunters and Gatherers
to Farmers
How did the development of agriculture change daily life in
the Neolithic Age? By about 8,000 B.C.E. (the end of the
Old Stone Age, or Paleolithic Age), some people had learned how to raise animals and crops for food. This marked the beginning of the Neolithic Age, or New Stone Age.
How did the development of agriculture change daily life in
the Neolithic Age?• This gradual shift from hunter-gatherers (food collectors) to farmers (food
producers) is one of the most important advances in human development. • 1.) People built permanent shelters.• 2.) People settled in larger communities. Together, they produced what
they needed.• 3.) People developed new skills and made a variety of things that
improved the quality of their lives. • 4.) People began to exchange goods with people in other communities for
the things they lacked in their own villages.• The development of farming changed human life.

Paleolithic People vs. Neolithic People Comparison
• Paleolithic people were nomadic. In other words, they followed animals to hunt them.
• Neolithic people created a stable food supply by planting seeds and harvesting crops (agriculture) and domesticating animals and raising them for meat and other uses.
• Neolithic people made permanent shelters, established communities, developed new jobs, and began to trade.
• Paleolithic and Neolithic people, both, hunted animals and gathered fruits, nuts, and vegetables.
