What do you think life would be like if the Neolithic Revolution had never happened?
Life would be crap, basically. Today our main daily fear is "What will the boss say if I'm late?" for a caveman it was "is there a leopard creeping up on me?" - which is of a slightly higher level of importance! also medical care would be whatever herbs were growing locally. And worst, there'd be no internet.
How does the Industrial Revolution influence the economic, social life of present society?
The Industrial Revolution influenced the economic and social life of present society because of the simple fact that it was considered a REVOLUTION. Because of the different advances in technology and ideology behind advancing in both education and science. The Industrial Revolution changed a great deal of things that has instilled a sense of wanting more and more today in all fields of science. The economy boomed because of faster production rate and easier manufacturing, and social life changed drastically from making things at home to going to department stores. Agriculturally, economically, socially, and ideologically... The Industrial revolution has influenced the way ALL countries today have tried to succeed in becoming world powers. Feel Free to take this... this is the "get a good grade but dont bore the hell outta everyone" answer
What is the importance of paleolithic to neolithic period?
Go back to "lithic" which means something made of stone or comprised of stone. Paleolithic refers to Old Stone Age and means tools were naturally or roughly shaped stones. There was hunting and gathering, but little or no farming as we know it today. Then there is a Mesolithic Age or Middle Stone Age when humans made tools by shaping them into slightly more finished tools. Other advancements were moving to settled camps and some simple agrarian techniques Neolithic means New Stone Age tools were chipped and finely finished like some of the stone tools we see in recent Native American society or Neolithic European farmers and pretty heavy farming in settled communities. Of course all of this end when metal is made from melted ore rock and tools become shaped and sharpened and we enter the Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages in progression to the modern metals we know today. See this Google return for pictures of Neolithic tools and see how finely finished they are. Some chipped edge Neolithic tools are sharper than a modern ground and polished metal implement today. http://images.google.com/images?rls=ig&h...
