Final answer:
The early village farming community (around 3500 BP) that arose following food production, in contrast to Mesopotamia, was in the Indus Valley region.
Step-by-step explanation:
In contrast to the sequence of events in Mesopotamia, food production led to the early village farming community (around 3500 BP) in the region of the Indus Valley. While Mesopotamia experienced the Neolithic Revolution earlier, with evidence of agricultural practices around 8000 BCE, it was not until much later that larger urban centers arose. In the Indus Valley, thanks to the Neolithic Revolution, a new civilization developed when people settled in permanent communities along the Indus River.
Agriculture in the Indus Valley included the cultivation of wheat, barley, cattle, sheep, and notably, the domestication of cotton and bananas, which were not known in ancient Mesopotamia. The establishment of surplus food production improved stability and population growth, leading to the establishment of early villages that later evolved into the sophisticated urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization.
