What is human civilization?

Answer 1

The earliest of human civilization began in 8,000 B.C., or when the Neolithic Age began. For the first time, people had homes and a stable food supply. Agriculture began to form, which was one of the most important giant leaps. People planted crops and domesticated animals for milk, cheese, hides, meat, and as many uses as they could think of. The first jobs started to form, like basket weaving or blanket making. Groups started to trade, like a hunk of obsidian for a bit of corn. From about two million years ago to 8,000 B.C., was the Paleolithic Age. This can "technically" be called civilization because families of 20-60 people stayed together in caves and tents. They were nomads, and their everyday focus was to get food. Even before that, early Hominids were roaming about. The hairy, monkey like humans were nomads, and didn't use very many tools at all. Their brain was half the size of ours, and they were 3 feet tall (at the tallest), and their heads looked like they were squashed. They did not live very long, and mostly ate fruit. Their jaws jutted out and they hunched over. This cannot be called human civilization because only your parents, brothers, and sisters lived with you.
