The Last Ice Age

• The last Ice Age ended about 12,000 B.C. The
  weather became warmer and as the ice glaciers
  receded (melted) it fed new rivers throughout the
  northern hemisphere.
• The end of the Ice Age caused the ideal warm
  weather and water sources for farming.

The Neolithic Revolution

• Neolithic New Stone Age
• About 10,000 B.C. nomadic women realized how to
  farm from scattering seeds and discovering plant
  growth. They discovered farming or agriculture.
  By producing their own food they could stay in
  one place.

11
Effects of Neolithic Revolution

• Farming and the domestication (taming) of animals
• Farmers settled into permanent villages instead
  of moving around
• Food surpluses (extra food) created population
  explosions
• Settlements and villages began to develop for the
  first time.
• Specialized jobs developed, since farming took
  fewer people and new settlements needed warriors,
  leaders, businessmen, construction workers...

Activity Neolithic Advertisement

• Answer Questions on Cartoon Document

• What hardships do the nomads face in the cartoon?
• Why is the Neolithic way a better way of life?

18
Project

• Create a advertisement for the Neolithic
  Revolution in which you try to convince the
  nomads to go the Neolithic Way.

• Use color and detail
• Make sure your ad addresses the change in
  lifestyle that happened during the Neolithic
  Revolution.
