This shift began approximately 10,000 years ago during the Neolithic Era and involved the domestication of plants and animals, leading to the development of farming and the establishment of permanent settlements. The Agricultural Revolution allowed populations to grow, as reliable food sources led to increased surpluses and the ability to support larger communities.
