The Neolithic period, also known as the younger stone age, is a period of history when people around the world began to farm instead of being hunter gatherers, in fact there are many centers of plant and animal domestication around the world. A sedentary lifestyle and calorie surplus (sounds familiar?) allowed for increased fertility (doesn't sound familiar), which enabled a population explosion. Farming was spread with farmers, experts tend to claim nowadays, rather than hunter gatherers being somehow persuaded to give up their hunter gatherer lifestyles in favor of farming. In fact the earliest farmers were much unhealthier than the hunter gatherers and had shorter lifespans, despite the amazing population growth.

Judging by some pictures i've seen, neolithic people were hella horny and had huge boners at all times, which is probably why they died out.

The Neolithic in the fertile crescent, the home of cereals such as wheat, rye and barley, is sometimes divided into such periods as the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) and the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB). Domesticating grains and animals took many thousands of years, during which people in the region were cultivating wild cereals without necessarily giving a thought to domesticating either the plants or animals for a long time. At some point people seem to have come up with the idea to hem in the ancestors of modern sheep and goats to secure a steady supply of meat, in several places in modern-day Turkey, and eventually domestic plants and animals became part of the "neolithic package" that farmers brought with them to colonize new regions, like they did Europe approximately 8000 years ago, a migration that has been thoroughly studied.

Imagine having to sell your neighbors on the usefulness of 'a bowl'. "Nah man, we're good." No look, you can put stuff in there. "...I dunno." It stays right in there, check it! "Seems expensive." We haven't invented currency or trade yet, you just make something in this shape and put things in it. "You lost me."

Like if everyone took stupid/know nothing pills it would probably take people like 30 or 40 years to figure out how to farm and build houses.

The first farmers in Europe seem to have had limited interactions with the native hunter-gatherer population, most likely because the latter was very small after a devastating period of climate change, and they also preferred to live in different biomes. Only after the farmers had already settled most of Europe, about 1000 years after the farming lifestyle had first arrived in this part of the world, we find much evidence of contact between European hunter-gatherers and farmers.Mooey Cow posted:Judging by some pictures i've seen, neolithic people were hella horny and had huge boners at all times, which is probably why they died out. I like your avatar, a cow. Cows were most likely domesticated in one place only at first, judging from genetic evidence, unlike sheep and goats whose wild ancestors were captured and kept in pens on a wider scale. Once cattle was brought into new lands by colonizing farmers they would sometimes breed with wild bovines in the region such as the European aurochs. Cattle was important not just for meat but also dairy, for which there's early evidence, and for manuring fields of grain.

These are the real questions. imo what we now know as shitposting has been a vital aspect of the human experience ever since the first so whenever one of our little planetary rovers touches down somewhere and accidentally draws a cock with its tracks, that’s just part of our heritage as a species

Weka posted:Nah there were atleast two domestication events for cows, one in the near east and one in Pakistan. Possibly a third in Africa. Yeah but for taurine cattle like in his avatar from what I've read they were originally bred from a very small population, then interbred with closely related species like the European aurochs at different points later on. Zebu, yak, gaur etc. I don't know anything about. The extra fertility was mainly in women, so I don't know if early farmers necessarily came harder than hunter-gatherers. That rock carving looks like bronze age Scandinavian rock carvings so it might be that. Maybe it's an early version of the myth of Thor fishing the Midgard serpent?

An interesting fact is that during the Neolithic or new rock period, dimetrodon used to keep mans as pets. This was the only tome period where this occurred.
