The major transition in human history from hunter-gatherer lifestyles to settled farming communities is known as the what?

• A. Neolithic Revolution
• B. Origin
• C. Natural environment
• D. Natural resources

Answer: (A)

The shift from wandering hunter-gatherers to settling in one place to farm is a big turning point in human history, and it’s described by the term Neolithic Revolution. “Neolithic” means the new stone age, reflecting the new farming tools and techniques, domestication of plants and animals, and the move to permanent villages. This transition allowed people to produce surplus food, support larger communities, and develop new skills, trade, and social structures.

Other terms don’t fit this idea. “Origin” is too general and does not describe a major lifestyle shift. “Natural environment” and “Natural resources” refer to surroundings and materials, not the change in how people lived. So the best answer is the Neolithic Revolution.
