The Neolithic Agricultural Revolution was considered to be a turning point in human history because for the first time people were able to settle in one place with plenty of food. During this dramatic change a more different way of living was established. People now had time to sit down and think which led to the first civilization. They also thought that they needed a ruler to organize and take charge of them so it was decided that the first organized government be created. Before all of this began to happen humans used to be nomads. With this type of uncivilized living people needed to hunt for food and when none was found many people died. Also there was no real place to call home for these nomads instead they had to live wherever the game animals took them no matter how harsh the conditions were. This ultimately led the first peoples to the Americas. During this time of nomads women were used to pick berries or nuts when the game animal was scarce. The early humans usually slept in caves where they made drawings on the walls and performed rituals deep inside. The drawings may have symbolized the gods they worshiped or perhaps the animals they hunted. The nomads had very simple tools for hunting and meeting their basic needs. Over time these tools improved in the New Stone Age. However, with any good thing a bad thing is soon to follow. While people were developing civilizations nomads began to invade their land. This caused a conflict which went on for many years to follow. Eventually the nomads died out and the Old Stone Age was officially over.
