Agrarian Societies Start

Civilization is a word with loaded meanings. Often the word is used to describe societies that are agriculturally based. To get a sense of timelines and the passage of history, answer the following questions. These questions are all a review.

1. As a review,  where are the earliest Homo Sapiens (us)  remains found and how old are those remains.

2. Review again, when did people take the Great Leap forward and what was that leap. (hint, if you don't get this, you too might have to go back 50,000 years hehehe)

3. What climatic event had to end for agriculture to begin?

4. What materials did people, Homo Sapiens, need to start agriculture?

5. About when did agriculture start?

6. Is agriculture the domestication of plants, the domestication of animals, or . . . ?

7. The development of Agrarian societies led to the Neolithic revolution. What is an agrarian society?

8. How does agriculture lead to specialization?

9. What is specialization (asked the grade 8 Manitoba Social Studies teacher)?

10. What happened to equality in societies dependent on agriculture for food, like ours? Give an example
