the spread of disease from animals to humans
the assyrian empire and yhe sumerian empire
One early type of agricultural practice in the ancient world was the domestication of plants and animals, which began around 10,000 years ago during the Neolithic Revolution. Early farmers cultivated staple crops like wheat and barley in the Fertile Crescent, while also domesticating animals such as sheep, goats, and cattle for food and labor. This shift from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities allowed for population growth and the development of complex societies. Techniques such as slash-and-burn agriculture and irrigation were also employed to enhance crop yields.

Early agricultural societies began with the domestication of plants and animals, transitioning from a nomadic lifestyle to settled farming communities. This shift allowed for a more reliable food supply, leading to the growth of populations and the development of more complex social structures.
Early civilisations were agricultural societies. Therefore, the largest social group was the peasantry.
Hunter-gatherer societies evolved into agricultural societies around 12,000 years ago as people began to cultivate plants and domesticate animals for food. This shift allowed for settled communities to develop, leading to the rise of early civilizations. Industrial societies emerged in the 18th century with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, which introduced mechanization and mass production, transforming economies and societies.
economic independence from surrounding agricultural societies
The Iron Age allowed early societies to advance technologically, leading to the development of better tools, weapons, and agricultural implements. This period also saw the rise of complex societies and increased trade networks due to the increased availability of iron. The use of iron played a significant role in shaping the social structures and economies of these early societies.
