Agriculture or farming is divided into two types. Arable (crops) and livestock.
How did surpluses allow people to specialize?
Surpluses in agriculture and resources provided communities with excess production beyond their immediate needs, enabling individuals to focus on specific trades or crafts rather than solely on subsistence farming. This specialization allowed for the development of various skills and professions, such as pottery, metalworking, and trade, fostering innovation and economic growth. As people concentrated on their specialized tasks, overall productivity increased, leading to more complex societies and the eventual rise of urban centers. Thus, surpluses laid the foundation for diverse economic roles and cultural advancements.
