Explanation:

1. Before farming, people relied on hunting and gathering for food as they did not have the settled - agriculture lifestyle. Permanent settlements, writing, and pottery making came later in human development.
2. The transition from hunter - gatherer to domestication allowed for the establishment of permanent settlements because people no longer had to move constantly in search of food. The Industrial Revolution was much later, human population increased, and cave art predated this transition.
3. The surplus of food from farming led to the specialization of labor (as not everyone had to be involved in food - production) and the development of social classes based on different roles in society.

Answer:

1. Hunting and gathering
2. It allowed for the establishment of permanent settlements
3. It led to the specialization of labor and social classes
