Document 1
Environmental changes brought new climate patterns that contributed to the end of the Old Stone Age [Paleolithic Era]. Warmer weather allowed plants to grow where, previously, sheets of ice had dominated the landscape.
Around 10,000 B.C., people made two important discoveries. They learned to plant seeds to grow food, and they learned to domesticate animals. These discoveries meant that people no longer had to wander in search of food. They could live in permanent settlements. This change marked the beginning of the New Stone Age, or Neolithic period. Historians call these discoveries the Neolithic Revolution, or the Agricultural Revolution, because farming and domestic animals changed the way people lived.
