The Neolithic Revolution (about 8000-3000 B.C.E.) was characterized by people moving from nomadic lifestyles to agricultural lifestyles.

For most people, the concept of the Neolithic Revolution refers to the actual origin of agriculture with domesticated plants, this occurring in Southwest Asia in the late PPNA or early PPNB at around 9000-8500 BC.

The end of the last ice age around 10,000 B.C.E was followed by what is called the Neolithic Revolution because it ushered in the New Stone Age (neolithic is Greek for “new stone”).

The Neolithic Revolution brought about the greatest material transformation in human history.
