3. From Hunter-Gathers to Farmers

4. Hunter-Gatherers Nomadic Limited to what could be carried Yields less food, no surplus More variety in diet; healthier Children spaced four years apart Less disease from sparse populations and no domesticated animals No formal government or social structure Egalitarian- no social structure, gender inequality Less development of technology

5. Farmers Began around 11,000 BCE Ability to farm and domesticate animals Had food surpluses which could be stored More dependent on crops, less biodiversity, less healthy Shorter birth interval Dense population More disease due to contact with domesticated animals Humans begin to claim territories and not share Eventually leads to cities

6. Contd. Need for authority; governments, armies, laws Need for priests Specialization in jobs Writing Social stratification and social status Inequality between men and women Fewer people live the good life More technology Produced “civilizations”

8. Still comparing…….
