Question

question 7 of 26 which of the following describes an important change that took place in early human societies as a result of the neolithic revolution? a. the establishment of the first governments allowed citizens to vote for their leaders. b. the development of organized religion united all human cultures under one belief system. c. the creation of food surpluses allowed people to pursue leisure activities such as art. d. the intense warring between organized societies led to an overall population decline.

Explanation:

The Neolithic Revolution involved the shift from hunting - gathering to agriculture. This led to the creation of food surpluses. With extra food, not everyone had to focus solely on food - getting activities. People could then engage in other pursuits like art. Early governments during this time were not democratic with voting rights (A is incorrect). Organized religion did not unite all human cultures under one belief system (B is incorrect). There was no intense warring between organized societies leading to overall population decline as a major result of the Neolithic Revolution (D is incorrect).

Answer:

C. The creation of food surpluses allowed people to pursue leisure activities such as art.
