Transition from hunting to agricultural society parallels development of woodworking tools, TAU research reveals
During the Neolithic Age (approximately 10000–6000
BCE), early man evolved from hunter-gatherer to farmer and
agriculturalist, living in larger, permanent settlements with a variety
of domesticated animals and plant life. This transition brought about
significant changes in terms of the economy, architecture, man’s
relationship to the environment, and more.
Now Dr. Ran Barkai of Tel Aviv University‘s Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Civilizations has
shed new light on this milestone in human evolution, demonstrating a
direct connection between the development of an agricultural society and
the development of woodworking tools.
