Question

 

 in 6000 B.C to 35 B.C it was a period of dramatic progress for prehistoric people

 

Answer 1

Around 6000 BC people began to domesticate the first plants and animals. As hunter/gathers, humans had to follow the food. With domestication came the advent of farming. People could settle in one place and produce their own food. A steady supply of food allowed humans to prosper. With basic needs met, people were able to devote more time to other activities, which would include intellectual and artistic pursuits.
