Early Economic System

The early economic system was a hunting-and-gathering system. This refers to men having to hunt while the women would gather things such as nuts, seeds, and berries. This later would be the reason for the name “hunting-and-gathering”.

The division was typically normal in which case the men would be the hunters and the women would gather small things such as nuts, seeds, and berries. This also played a role with their hunting-and-gathering type economy.

During the Neolithic Age human groups consisted of roughly seventy to eighty people. This was because they expect to cover a lot of land in a shorter period of time and with more members this would have only reduced their speed. Also with this group[ size the people were expected to cover about

Following this agricultural spread to the regions of India, Europe, and Northern Africa(Maybe all) around 8000-7000 BCE. After the spread to India, Europe, and parts of Africa the concept of agricultural began to spread to southeast Asia around 7000 BCE based on rice cultivation. Later agriculture would spread to central America around 5000 BCE with corn. -According to Stearns the extent of agricultural was slow. To Stearns there were two main reasons for this, one being the news of this plan was not spreading fast enough or as he sated “contacts among people were halting”. Secondly Stearns states that there were too many reasons to not acknowledge

The critical nomadic region was in central Asian and it then was followed by numerous parts of the middle east and the Sub-Saharan Africa.

The term given by historians for this switch from hunter-gatherer groups to an agricultural society was known as the Neolithic Revolution. A few key characteristics of early agricultural societies included there being a higher rate of permanent settlements allowing communities to clear more land, dig wells, and occasionally even assemble irrigation systems. It also granted further connections , improved food growth, and it even pronounced the distinction between the two genders.

Vital differences between the early civilizations and the early agricultural societies comprised of civilizations being more complex in commonly as well as having a better production, deeper and more involved communities, formal governments and bureaucracies, and finally a establishment of actual federations which later brought a widened sense of unity. Earliest civilizations established the wheel, a writing system,and a convoluted irrigations
