The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What are differences between the Paleolithic, and Neolithic time periods?
Did the development of agriculture also have any negative consequences?
Yes, the shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture led to a variety of environmental and social issues. One of the major environmental consequences was deforestation, as trees were cleared to make way for farmland. The development of larger settlements also led to the spread of disease, and the rise of social hierarchies created new forms of inequality and conflict.
