First Agricultural Revolution

The first agricultural revolution is considered to have occurred some time around 9000-7000 BC , most likely in the "hearth areas" of the Fertile Crescent , the Ganges , Yuan , and Mesoamerica . It is generally recognized to have begun with the development of seed-based agriculture and the use of animals (for plowing, etc.). The first agricultural revolution spurred major social change, including a high Population Density , the organization of an hierarchial society, the specialization in non-agricultural Crafts , a standing Army , Barter and Trade , and the expansion of man's "control" over nature.

The hunter-gatherer way of life was being replaced with the domestication of crops and Animals , which enabled people to live more sedentary lives (which led to the building of villages, creating new social, Cultural , Economic , and Political concepts, as mentioned above). Agriculture in this era was subsistence agriculture, which means people were farming for their own diet (not for sale/profit) and the farmers practiced crop rotation (letting the fields lay in fallow between planting seasons).
