Otzi's Neolithic Revolution

Political, economic, and social conditions have often led to turning points that have changed the course of history for nations and people. The Paleolithic Era and Neolithic Revolution was a turning point that changed the orbit of history for mankind. In Documents 1, 2, and 4, they explain life before the Neolithic Revolution and what changed during the period and provide an analysis of results of the revolution. They introduce food supply and settlement, and civilization and trade.

Humans tend to perceive courage as an end result; a title to win, a crown to wear, a pompous stand for justice in the fear of opposition, to be commemorated through history. Legacy, so often overshadowed, is seen as a repercussion; an impossible standard set upon impossible odds, achievable only by those given the chance. Against all likelihood, former Los Angeles City Councilman Tom Bradley became the first African-American mayor to be elected in a major U.S. city "with an overwhelmingly white population" (Hendra 2014). Bradley's tenure as mayor of Los Angeles for twenty years completely modified the seemingly concrete racial standards of contemporary politics, however, it was in his ascent

It's a bogmoss, and the only likely location within walking distance of where he died, is the broad, low-lying valley of Vinschgau, where Otzi resided for his adult life. Sphagnum moss has a specific ethnographic use as dressings for wounds, because it is soft and absorbent. Otzi's hand was deeply cut three-eight days before he died, and researchers think it's possible that this moss was used to staunch his wound, and was transferred to his food from the dressings on his hand.

In 1991 two hikers found a frozen body in a mountain pass in the Alps, on the Italian-Austrian border in Europe. This brave leader who lived about 5,000 years ago didn’t know that he would be an important clue to how people lived in the past.

On September 9, 1991 a discovery was made that changed scientist’s view on the Neolithic and Copper Era forever. What was found turned out to be the oldest frozen mummy ever in history. Little did scientists know that what they could have on their hands is a murder.

Although weapons have had major effect in society in the past and the present, I think that tools were more important in creating communities that led to civilization. Since the Paleolithic Age, humans used tools for hunting and obtaining their food source. They also used a variety of other tools, such as: stone tools for cleaning animal hides, spears for catching fish, and needles for sewing clothes. Tools could also have been used to make art. Tools also had an important impact in the Neolithic Revolution. Humans used stone axes to clear trees for farming, which had an important effect in the transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to an agricultural way of life. Additionally, tools helped communities advance into civilization because

When I first saw we had to read a book for this class, I was not that happy about it. However, this book was so fascinating to read, and I learned more than I thought I would. The beginning of the book freaked me out because Kolbert mentions that we’re in the middle of a mass extinction. I couldn’t wrap my mind around the thought of the human race becoming extinct. Every time I think about that, I always remember that documentary/movie called Life without People we watched in eighth grade. For her to talk about how the human race isn’t as superior as we think is eye opening. Also, it was surprising to learn that Kolbert was a journalist, and that she wasn’t some scientist. It showed me that you don’t have to limit yourself to just one thing. She took her field of journalism and paired it with a journey to find out what is happening to the Earth.

The surplus of food from farming during the Neolithic Revolution had an enormous impact on the lives of humanity and made the very existence of civilization possible; the greatest changes caused by this surplus of food were permanent settlements, specialized skills, and the development of complex social hierarchies. In the Paleolithic Period, before farming was developed, humans had to rely on savaging the land for their food, foraging for plants, nuts, berries, meat, and fish. “Over the last 10,000 years, the predominant result has been a shift from hunting-gathering to food production” (Diamond 109). After the ice age ended 10,000 years ago, land hidden beneath the glaciers was revealed and more water became accessible due to the melting

The main goal of the paper (Bocquet-appel, 2002) is to detect the change in the number of humans from Mesolithic to Neolithic transition. The paper uses a combination of both theoretical and cultural historical evidence to infer the transition during Neolithic revolution. Previously, such transition in demography is mainly inferred from genetic data, using the demic-expansion model. Bocquet-appel (2002) argued that the genetic model embedded in the demic model did not show the change representing the transition and suffered from ambiguous interpretation, and the new method of paleoanthropological data from cemeteries can promise more informative and reliable signals. The theoretical assumption behind Bocquet-appel (2002) is that the proportion

Forming villages and communities thousands of years ago, probably was one of the best decisions that people back then ever made. Before societies, humans were hunters and gatherers, they would run around and try to get to hunt animal and sleep and just repeat that cycle until they die, an aspect of that was shown in the cartoon “Join the Neolithic Revolution comic” a hunter and a gatherer sad and feel bad that they did not have enough food. They felt it was amazing that you do not have to worry about hunting everyday and killing every single day for food when the guy from the village came to them and explained how villages work, also you can see him walking with a goat, which mean you do not have to kill them all, you can live with animals

The appearance of urban living was one of the most influential developments in the Neolithic Revolution. Appearing as a result of another important advancement, agriculture, it resulted in a vast, albeit gradual, shift from nomadism and hunting-and-gathering to a sedentary lifestyle. Most importantly, this evolution would result in changes to social hierarchies, occupations in society, and the environment.

A Neolithic hunter found in 1991 did not seem to appeal my eyes, yet when I learned the discoveries found about one human being who died between 3,350 and 3,3000 B.C.E., I couldn’t wait to keep reading; this article started to get intriguing. I have a passion for career fields that grow rapidly and make new fascinating discoveries. I learned many compelling facts in the reading, I never thought a skeleton could be well preserved in such cold temperatures. Yes his body had changed drastically and was not in the running for the cover of people magazine but the way the human body works is very interesting. I would have loved to be there while analyzing Otzi, truly a life changing experience. Technology determined his health and he may have

All throughout history, humans have come up with innovations that have brought both positive and negative changes to the way people live. This all started around 10,000 BCE, when people developed agriculture. The first nomads started off by moving from place to place, hunting and gathering food… but as people developed agriculture, they saved a lot more time. After agriculture developed, the humans learned many things such as farming and taming wild animals for their own use. This time in history was called the Neolithic Revolution… which lasted about 6,000 years, until 4,000 BCE. The big change in the way people got their food and how they lived, resulted to positive and negative changes of human innovations of the Neolithic Revolution. So,

Since agricultural production began in the neolithic revolution, there have been many advancements to improve the farming industry. However, the farming industry has seen a steady decline in its contribution to the US economy as it is a very time consuming and labor intensive endeavor. Since the cultivation of produce is essential to supporting the world’s populace, researchers, scientists, and engineers have been developing new farming strategies and technologies to revitalize the farming industry. Implementing new ideas will be important for the future success of production. The formation of agriculture began with these technological advancements almost 12,500 years ago.
