Description: Journey back to one of humanity's most profound turning points, when foraging bands set down roots and forever changed the course of our species. This sweeping account traces the Neolithic transformation from its Pleistocene prelude through the birth of cultivation, animal domestication, and the first permanent villages, revealing how new tools, diets, and rituals reshaped bodies, beliefs, and social worlds. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, and the latest scientific evidence, it explores how farming emerged in the Fertile Crescent and beyond, and how its consequences still echo in the world we inhabit today. An accessible and richly detailed portrait of the revolution that made civilization possible.
