Answer 1

Hunter-gatherer societies were nomadic, following herds and gathering food, with fire significantly contributing to their development. The Agricultural Revolution allowed for settled farming communities, the domestication of animals such as the dog, and the creation of more complex social structures. Fertile areas near water sources enabled the first agricultural settlements to prosper, leading to trade and the foundation of social hierarchy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hunter-Gatherer Societies

Hunter-gatherer societies, as the earliest human communities, were characterized by their mobile lifestyle, following herds and gathering regional flora. These societies were organized under a sexual division of labor, where men commonly hunted and women primarily gathered, contributing significantly to the group's sustenance. The use of fire by our ancestors about a million years ago was a pivotal advancement offering protection and new ways to process food, which improved nutrition and social organization.

The Agricultural Revolution

The transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture is known as the Agricultural Revolution. This fundamental change, which occurred independently in various parts of the world, allowed for the capacity to support larger populations due to a more reliable food supply, leading to more complex social hierarchies and the emergence of cities. The principal domesticated animal during those times was the dog, assisting in hunting and offering companionship.

Agriculture and Societal Changes

The establishment of agriculture meant settling down in fertile areas crucial for farming, like the Fertile Crescent and the Nile River Valley, where water sources provided the means for successful crop cultivation. With this sedentary lifestyle came the need for permanent structures, shaping the earliest human settlements. Agriculture's surplus enabled the development of trade, and with it, the formation of villages and further complexity in human societies, such as the inception of diverse social roles and private property.

Answer 2

Hey there, the answers are...

For number one, Id say C. A would be wrong because women did not hunt, they were the cooks and cleaners. B wouldnt be right because they were in Southwest Asia area, and when I did this lesson my teacher said nothing about them going to Europe.

For number two I would say the answer is C aswell. Because they eventually learned how to grow crops.

For number three I would answer B or D but im not sure.

Number four B farming provided a fairly reliable food supply. I say this because C im pretty sure not everyone was perfect at farming. And D I think farming took just as much work to farm. And A just wouldnt be right.

Number five, im pretty sure its dog, its said that it started as tamed wolves.

Number seven Id say the answer is D. Hunter gathers had to move around to different destinations in order to find animals, so this meant they didnt live in permanant homes.

Number nine I think is C use of tools. The reason I say C is because farming has nothing to do with building a village, thats working for food. use of fire wouldnt be senseable for an answer either because you use fire to cook food with or for warmth. and d wouldnt be correct because that also has to do with filling empty stomaches...

For number ten, Id say nomadic because that is moving around and not staying in one permanant area.

For number twelve I think the answer is C hunter gathers.

Srry these are the only answers I could answer but I hope this helps you...
