Answer:

Neolithic revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

During school life we ​​got used to listening to that old linear story: in the past, human populations were nomadic and used hunting and gathering to survive while they had not yet discovered the benefits of agriculture.

But with the Neolithic Revolution, about ten thousand years ago, the hunter-gatherers settled down, became farmers, and gave rise to what would become great civilizations like the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians.
