I'd say that population growth and the domestication of plants and animals brought on new cultural changes, such as gender inequality, greater need for protection, and emergence of new social classes. However, I am not 100% sure.

As a direct result of population growth and the domestication of plants and animals we can point out greater need for protection and emergence of new social classes.

Gender inequality is a biological fact, and by so, it affected human society since the beginning. Since the first pieces of evidence of human society, we found social structures divided by gender. Men were responsible for hunting and protection and women responsible for taking care of the children and for cooking. So, not a consequence of cultural change.

As a consequence of the increase in population, and the increase in the storage of food and animals, it was necessary a greater need for protection. As productivity increased, the risk of this being stolen or violated also increased. Another consequence was the emergence of new social classes, as the result of labor division and new governmental structures.

Wealth and Religious beliefs were highly affected, but in the opposite way presented in the text. Both had an important increase in Population growth and the domestication of plants and animals.
