What technologies did the people of Catal Huyuk develop?

Answer 1

The people of Catal Huyuk developed a wide assortment of arts, crafts, and tools. At the end of the Old Stone Age, thousands of years before Catal Huyuk, the warming of the Earth made more plants grow. This caused more animals to survive. This caused more food for people, which lead to more people. People started agriculture, or more known as farming or raising animals (one technology of Catal Huyuk). Agriculture caused people to build permanent homes, because before they had to travel with a herd of animals or to places where there were still plants. This made them have plenty of times to do other things. Once they realized that they could do one thing instead of having everyone do everything (one person weaves baskets, other person makes tools, other person farms, other person harvests plants, etc.) they started using specialization (another technology of Catal Huyuk). Specialization is any trade, job, or profession. When people realized that specialization made them lack other tools or items for use, they traded (another technology) their surplusitems. A surplus is an extra amount of anything. This way, people could get what they need without losing anything that they really need. Trading lead to interaction. Interaction is the exchange of beliefs, technology. or ideas. For example, Person a is from TownA. Person b is from Town B. b is a shoemaker. a is a curtain-weaver. a trades a shoe with b, who gives a a curtain. b finds out that a makes his curtains fluffy. b tells the curtain-maker of Town B to make his curtains fluffier, He does. This is one example of interaction. Interaction lead to civilization. Civilization is a culture that developed systems of specialization, religion, learning, and government.
