The Neolithic period saw humanity begin to farm and therefore start relying on agriculture for food instead of hunting and gathering. The effects of this were:
- Social - Humans settled in small villages where they could grow crops instead of migrate for food. They branched out into other activities as well because they now had enough food to not worry about survival all the time.
- Cultural - As a result of villages being established, people began to come up with distinct beliefs and ways of doing things which led to cultures being established.
- Political - With villages established, people realized that a leadership structure was needed and so leaders came about at the societal level.
The Age of metal saw humanity use copper, then bronze, and finally iron, to make tools and other instruments that were durable and stronger than anything they had before. Effects of this were:
- Social - an increase in social activities because metal tools made farming much more easier which meant that people would have extra time on their hands. This enabled them to branch out into other activities.
- Cultural - Iron working led to even larger societies which incorporated more beliefs as people began to explore more of what nature had that could be used for the benefit of humanity.
- Political - Iron weapons were made that allowed nations to take over other nations with more ease such as the Celts who were able to conquer many areas in Europe with their knowledge of iron weaponry.
In conclusion, both the Age of Metal and the Neolithic period contributed to the growth and progress of humanity.
