The New Stone Age (The Neolithic Era) 6,000 to 12,000 years ago

During the Neolithic Era, people began to settle in one place. The New Stone Age (The Neolithic Era) During the Neolithic Era, people began to settle in one place.

Review Questions! 1. How is Neolithic culture different from Paleolithic?

The Development of Agriculture Agriculture is the raising of crops and animals. People no longer needed to travel great distances to gather food. Domesticate - train something to be useful to people. Plants - wheat, barley, peas, and lentils. Animals - wild goats, cattle, and sheep.

Review Questions! 1. How did the diet change for Neolithic Man? 2. Why is domestication and agriculture so important? 3. What types of plants and animals were staples of the Neolithic Era?

Ancient charred wheat grains are shown in the picture above. Man domesticated wild wheat.

Domesticated Corn Thousands of years ago, an ear of corn did not make much of a meal. (top) It took thousands of years of careful breeding for ears of corn to reach their present size. (bottom)

Advanced Tools 8,000 years ago axe, bottom, used for clearing fields; flint sickles, left, used for harvesting cereal crops; flat rock and rounded stone, center, used for grinding flour; perforated clay slabs, upper right, probably used to ventilate bread ovens

New Stone Age (Neolithic Era) Tools People still used stone, bone, and wooden tools, but some new tools were added by using copper and bronze.

Review Questions! 1. What major technological advancement was made concerning tools during the Neolithic period? Why is it an advancement?

New Stone Age Venn Diagram Create a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the Old (Paleolithic) Stone Age to the New (Neolithic) Stone Age. Fill in at least 3 ways that the Paleolithic and Neolithic cultures differ from each other and at least 3 ways in which they are similar. You are suddenly told that you are going to have to move backwards in time and are given the choice of either the Paleolithic or the Neolithic Age to move into. You will only be allowed to bring 1 other person with you, 1 item that does not require electricity or batteries, and 1 item of food that will continually replenish (but it can not be something that would need refrigeration or would spoil). Which Era would you choose, who and what would you bring? Why?
