Slavery
Does no one find it odd that the word slavery does not even appear in this article even though it was a prerequisite 2600:1008:B18E:9554:4A1:6AE5:795B:AA2A (talk) 23:41, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * A prerequisite for being part of the neolithic revolution? As we have no written records and archaeology can't show slavery, no. Doug Weller  talk 10:06, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed - are they thinking of the Bronze Age, I wonder? Johnbod (talk) 15:38, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * archeology can definitely show sings of slavery? Bookyteeth (talk) 14:49, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Linear progression of society
The part of the introduction about the neolithic package and how farming gave rise to hierarchy just isnt true? Hierarchy can exist both with and without hierarchy. The opening also implies that farming, once adopted, was a permanent feature, something that's not always reflected. Amending some of the phrasing here and later on would more accurately reflect the ways that agriculture changed societies, and help resist the idea that history only moves one way.

 * An amendment made on 28 August 2017 by User:Chiswick Chap removed the statement "Personal land and private property ownership led to a hierarchical society, with an elite social class, comprising a nobility, polity, and military" from the lead section, without an edit summary but presumably because the statement was inadequately supported by citations. The words "hierarchical ideologies" remained, without citation, presumably overlooked then and ever since. I agree that this requires a citation and have flagged it as such. Don't know what User:Bookyteeth means by "Hierarchy can exist both with and without hierarchy". Masato.harada (talk) 16:16, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, meant "hierarchy can exist both with and without farming" Bookyteeth (talk) 00:12, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

BP
Why is BP (a relatively unknown standard) used? 197.234.165.147 (talk) 18:21, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Because it concerns prehistory. Before Present is standard in such cases. Dimadick (talk) 00:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It would be truer to say it it is often preferred in such cases, further back than some cut-off point. I wouldn't expect to see it used for the European Bronze Age for example. This topic is about at the borderline imo. Johnbod (talk) 03:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
