So causes of the Neolithic revolution and again we might be throwing darts in the wind here. Now of course there is archaeology where we're studying the land and we're looking for artifacts and fossils. And we also have archaeogenetics, a field which looks at DNA and how that has changed and evolved over time which gives us some insights into the Neolithic Age and the Paleolithic Age as well. But the major change if you're looking for the one answer is probably going to be climate change at the end of the Ice Age. The end of the Ice Age, the melting of the glaciers, is going to cause global changes in the way that the land and the environment is structured. So it might be in the Middle East, say in Syria, where suddenly there is kind of a fertile valley where food will grow more easily giving people the opportunity to sit down. In other areas there might be a lack of an animal food supply which is going to cause people to have to sit down and figure out how do we eat.
