11
12 Living area? tropical areas: one sq.. mile per person colder climates: sq. miles per person for 30 people: almost 1000 sq. miles life is nasty, brutish, and short
13 Radical Change the Neolithic Age (New Stone Age) radical change in the acquisition of food humans began to consciously produce food
14 Neolithic differences grinding stone tools more durable than flint or chert obtained food wholly or primarily by organized agriculture and/or animal husbandry rather than hunting and gathering
15 Polished stone
16 Most important change organized agriculture sedentary life-style based on farming a few simple crops for surplus
17 When and Where? Middle East about 10,000 B.C. near the end of the last ice age
18
19 How did it happen? some single genius? accident? in human history: never underestimate stupidity and accident the genius is the one who figures out how to really screw up productively
20 What did humans know? empirically aware of the natural cycle of plants? plants come from seeds? they need water and sunlight? same time, same place, each year?
21 Why did it take so long? traditional explanation: no incentive hunter and gatherers maintain small populations infanticide, abortion, lactation taboos lacking stimulus for radical change?
22 Problems and Advantages food supply is at the mercy of the elements food supply is more varied and healthy food supply requires less work to acquire nomadic lifestyle avoids disease
23 Why the Shift? end of the Ice Age: climate and environment change? population growth
24 Alternative theories accident accident and stupidity accident and good luck
25 Other reasons for slow change? number of plants suitable for domestication 3,000 of 200,000 plants are suitable depending on climate and local only 30 (or so) are of major importance
26 Domestic plants? (sedentary agriculture) four grasses: wheat, maize, rice, sugar starches: potatoes, yam, manioc, banana legumes: lentils, peas. wetches, beans, peanuts, soybeans
27 Evolution of Wheat
28 Area for natural growth of wheat
29 Map of natural area for barley
30 Natural range of sheep
31 Natural Range of Cows
32 Transitional Period: Cult center at GobekliTepe in Turkey
33
34 Sanctuary circles
35
36 Domestic animals? (pastoralism) not many and how exactly do you domesticate them, anyway?
37 So why did people change? why leave a relatively casual hunting-andgathering life for the seven-days-a-week life of a farmer forced to do so by climatic change? forced to do so by gradual (over the centuries) population growth? accidental by-product of trade?
38 Advantages? support more people per sq. mile security
39 Change between 10,000 and 2,000 years ago most humans switched to organized agriculture in whole or in part
40 Origins of early spread of agriculture
41 Agriculture and Population Growth Population (millions) BCE 2000 BCE 1000 BCE 500 BCE
42 Location: early origins Asia Minor Palestine Iranian Plateau
43 Surplus Food and the Specialization of Labor Emergence of villages and towns Discoveries at Çatal Hüyük, Turkey, occupied BCE Tremendous range of manufactured products Pottery, Jewelry, Textiles, Copper tools Development of crafts
44 Catal Huyuk ca. 9,5000 B. C.

47 Still Hunting..
48 Interior Sacred Space
49 House in Catal Huyuk
50 Catal Huyuk: Their view
51 The Boss?
52 Location: later, large-scale the Middle East China India Central America (eventually, but later still
53 Early methods slash-and-burn incipient agriculture in the Middle East: from 9,500 B.C. to about 7,500 B.C. longer in the Western hemisphere
54 Varieties of Agriculture Middle East: wheat, barley, the rye Africa: rice, millet Mediterranean: olive, barley, wheat, millet, grapes Iranian plateau and India: same as M. East China: rice
55 Varieties of Agriculture: con t N. America: beans, squash, maize C. America: beans, squash, maize, chili peppers, avocado, tomatoes, etc.. S. America: manioc, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
56 Areas of unfavorable climate stock raising pastoral nomads a variety of animals

61 Neolithic house at Hassuna
62 Hansa bowl
63 Halaf Bowl
64 The Great Tower Jericho southern Palestine ca B.C.
65 Wall painting from Jericho
66 Low productivity gradual awareness of types of soil fertilizer crop rotation
67 Problems poor harvests disease (human waste and garbage) relationships with pastoral nomads accurate measurement of time shortage of suitable land
68 Life life expectancy: very low (lower?) birth rates: high (because of predictable food) higher standard of living (We have Stuff!!) pottery, extra clothing and possessions textiles: from natural fibers
69 Social Organization: Villages nuclear family: man, woman, children extended family: two or more married couples and their children clans: groups of families tribes: inhabitants of the villages of a given region
70 Extended Family more suitable for village economic life more hands to work more efficient at planting and harvest more intensive labor
71 Relations between men and women egalitarian Catal Huyuk: women enjoyed equal status in agriculture and crafts higher status in religion? art: mother, then daughter, then son, then finally, father
72 Religion fertility specifically: fertility of women both directly and as metaphor for the world fertility figures More complex, but still A method of explanation A technology of control
73 Female fertility figure Neolithic age
