The transition in the diet and the process of obtaining food changed drastically when the Neolithic period began. Many anthropologists know this transition as the Neolithic Revolution (Bocquet-Appel 2011:560). During the Neolithic revolution, the population of the homo sapiens increase drastically and along with this increase of people came the increase of advantages and disadvantages. Population increase was due to the life of the farmer and the food producer. When the transition to farming happened
nomads who followed their food source around and were hunters and gathers. Although it took many years, from 8000B.C. to 3000B.C. for humans to go from hunters and gathers to a more common day life as we now know it, the result is referred to as the Neolithic Revolution the begins of human civilization. As the people of this time began to settle down and they began to both farm the land and domesticate animals for the better of the community. Along with the development of these communities as for the
The Neolithic Revolution was the transition from hunting animals to farming. This alteration had many benefits and consequences according to The Worst Mistake in The History of the Human Race by Jared Diamond. One of these benefits were that, you would be able to make a lot of crops without having to do as much work, compared to a hunter gatherer who, would go to the wild to find their food. The consequences however, were the spread of diseases, poor health and sexual inequalities. While some would
Ahead of the Neolithic People, were the Paleolithic. These people came during the time referred to as the Old Stone Age.

Furthermore, men who under the division of labor of work, were to hunt in groups in order to obtain larger game. Where-as women were to gather animal products
Distinguish between the Paleolithic and Neolithic Periods in terms of time and cultural developments. The Paleolithic period occurred between 2.6 million to 10,000 years ago. The era is also called the Old Stone Age. The Neolithic period started at 10,000 BC and it came to an end between 4500 and 2000 BC. The era is also referred to as New Stone Age. The Paleolithic period is characterized by the use of stone tools and discovery of fire by humans. As such, the artistic work involved cave paintings
Neolithic Revolution The shift from the Neolithic Age to the Agriculture Revolution came with many changes as humans had to adjust to new jobs and tools. Market economies evolved and created a new order of living for most of humanity. The positive advancements included a new surplus of food, a higher standard of living, and a more diverse job market.

I will be looking at magic in prehistoric Europe and the part it played in pre-Neolithic/Neolithic cultures. From this, I hope to reach an understanding of the part magic played in this time and how it progressed into later cultures. As there is no literary evidence for this time frame we must rely on the archaeological finds, in particular various phallic imagery, statuettes, cave art and monuments. These elements all point in one way or another towards an involvement with the religious beliefs
