When people began planting crops rather than just gathering what grew wild. The hunter-gatherer way of life was replaced by domestication of crops and animals, enabling people to live more sedentary lives. It also cut down on a lot of the starvation that they were accustomed to during the winter months, as they could not only control their food source, but produce enough to get them through the lean winter times.

Yes Civilizations were formed because agriculture allowed the people to settle down and with a constant food suply they could do otehr things like herd animals and start to think about new inventions for the first time in history.

Revolution my ****. Lenin had a revolution, not some cavemen.
here`s what happened.
1. Man wanders out of Africa about 100000 years ago, he uses rocks to wipe out the Wolley Mammoth, Lives in Caves.
2. Not much happens for 90000 years or so (it gets a bit warmer, and there are less mammoths to kill).
3. SUDDENLY 10000 years ago, man stops hunting, starts farming, many new species appear (sheep, cows etc..). this happens in 7 centres around the world.
4. Civilisation is born when the Sumerians invent writing, metalurgy, specialisation, laws, trade, etc..
You have to ask yourself, what was happening in the first 90000 years, the cave men were just as capable as us.
Why do the medieval portolan maps, copied from earlier ones show Antarctica free from ice, now only visible with radar.
Where did the 3000 year old battery from baghdad originate (a clay jar containing a copper cylinder and iron rod, add acid (vinegar or something) and you have electricity, eat your heart out Volta!).
