Neoliths, also known as the "New Stone Age," marked a significant period in human history when early human societies transitioned from hunting and gathering to agriculture and animal domestication. Synonyms for neoliths include the Agricultural Revolution, the Neolithic Period, and the Age of Agriculture. During this time, new tools and technologies, such as the plow, irrigation systems, and pottery, allowed humans to settle in one place and form permanent communities. The neoliths also saw the development of religion, art, and the first cities. This period laid the foundation for civilization as we know it today, making the study of neoliths crucial for understanding human history and development.
