| Final Question | |
| Name at least three ways that life changed once the Agricultural Revolution happened? | Agriculture lead to environmental destruction, deforestation, displacement of natural wildlife, and the genetic modification of plants. It also provided people with a stable and reliable food source. Civilizations were created due to the agricultural revolution. People needed to create more systems and organized all their goods. They also needed to build walls and other building to help protect their wealth (food). Hierarchies of wealth, status, and power began to appear in civilizations. People were divided between those who direct (boss) and those who were directed (workers). |
