Overgangen til landbrug i neolitisk tid forvandlede menneskets liv ved at skabe rigdom og muligheden for urbanisering. Selvom denne “neolitiske revolution” bragte mange fordele, medførte den også udfordringer og konsekvenser, hvis effekter stadig mærkes i dag.

Hele abstrakt på originalsprog:
The adoption of agriculture in the Neolithic was one of the most important events in human history. The appearance and subsequent expansion of agriculture in different areas of the planet took place approximately 10,000 to 5,000 years ago. Before that, humans used hunter-gatherer techniques to procure their livelihood. The transition to agriculture, which later led to the emergence and development of the first urban civilizations, allowed to obtain an unimaginable wealth and material prosperity for the Neolithic hunter-gatherer populations, which has caused this process to have been called the “Neolithic Revolution”. However, not all were advantages. In some cases, the adoption of agriculture and a sedentary way of life had consequences whose effects are being felt today.
