5. Sedentary life had some challenges

Return to *History 8 Neolithic Revolution Concepts

a. Disease

Many towns were small and over populated. Everyone and everything was together in one small space. This allowed new diseases to emerge. This caused many issues because during that time period there was no medicine to cure anything. Many villages had to move and create a bigger and more organized living spaces.

b. property

In the new life style property was an issue. With extra property going to storing grain and other food some homes were stuffed. With the homes stuffed some people were not happy and wanted their own property which caused them to move and start all over again.

c. security

They were so worried about their food and their village they let their guard down. THey just weren't as aware as they were when life was the same everyday, same routine. Not that they really had a "police force" they were able to protect themselves, but with new ideas they weren't aware.

d. economics

With the new life style of farming the farmers were able to store things easier and preserve it. Also they could trade food to other tribes which helped the economy. But also with newly made villages there needed to be laws. But without anyone person standing out the laws would not be enforced and the "government" would not be successful
