humans devoted much of their time to obtaining food.

After Agriculture:

People enjoyed a more reliable and steady source of food.

Families settled down and formed larger communities.

Humans concentrated on new skills: arts and crafts, architecture, social organization.

Hunter-gatherer is a human who lives in a society in which all or most of his livelihood is obtained by hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants. In that case people did not had a good sense of family, they could only survive hunting, could not stay in a large number for lack of food

Primarily agriculture people did not need to hunt could stay with families and develop new skills
