Answer 1

inequality and much harder work come with agriculturalism, as well as these other points: susceptibility to attack, insecurity, disease from living amidst one's own waste and with domestic animals, crowding, impoverished diet, risk of drought, flood, fire etc. destroying everything you've got and not being able to move on easily. The skeletons of early hunter-gatherers look stronger and more healthy than those of early agriculturalists.

I think the biggest effect of agriculture on civilization was the separation of men and women.
Although today, women's roles are going back to being equal to those of men, in between the ag revolution and now there has been a definite difference. It all started when women took on the jobs that required being in one place for a long time. Some tasks were pottery, weaving, and cooking. These jobs may have been even tougher than those of the hunters, who were men. The men had to rely on the women for food most of the time because they seldon brought home food.
The different jobs for women and men carried on for a long time so I think that might have been the biggest effect of agriculture on civilization. CA

The most important effects of agriculture on civilization was creating a situation in which a single strong leader was very desirable. To support large populations agriculture had to be coordinated, especially in areas which relied on irrigation and canals. Thus the need for a leader of definite power. EG

Answer 2

With the emergence of agricultural communities came a need for a structured society. Archaeological evidence illustrates the use of technology and social organization. Settled farming communities also needed to develop an understanding of the differences between wild and domestic plants and animals. -Their patterns of settlement were influenced by their agricultural practices.

Answer 3

Inequality arose along with agriculture. Farming produced a surplus of food in a society, and those who had control over that surplus - namely, kings and priests - became the upper classes of early agrarian societies.

As agriculture developed and people settled down in villages and towns to tend to their fields, many problems associated with communal living arose. Among the more important of these problems was the spread of disease, which occurred much more rapidly and with more devastating effects than was the case in smaller, widely scattered hunting-gathering societies.

Answer 4

I'd guess lack of a consistant water supply + lack of security. Can't grow crops without water nor can you farm if your village is being pillaged.
