Neolithic Revolution: Why Was it Important? The Neolithic Revolution was important because at this time people started farming, new technologies were being invented and people started coming together. The Neolithic Revolution began when people started to practice farming. Some believe farming started in the Middle East, and others believed farming developed independently in different regions. Food-gathering women discovered that if seeds were planted on the ground, new plants would grow in a year.
The term Neolithic or New Stone Age is most frequently used in connection with agriculture, which is the time when cereal cultivation and animal domestication was introduced. Because agriculture developed at different times in different regions of the world, there is no single date for the beginning of the Neolithic. In the Near East, agriculture was developed around 9,000 BCE, in Southeast Europe around 7,000 BCE, and later in other regions.
