question 24 of 26
how did the neolithic revolution change social structures in early human communities?
a. societies began to focus on capturing other groups’ food rather than growing their own.
b. societies began to value hunters and gatherers more than farmers or herders.
c. societies began to split their populations into smaller villages than ever before.
d. societies began dividing people into classes depending on their jobs and prestige.

Explanation:

The Neolithic Revolution led to the development of agriculture, which in turn led to more settled - living. As societies became more complex, social stratification emerged, with people being divided into classes based on jobs (such as farmers, artisans, leaders) and prestige. Option A is incorrect as the Neolithic Revolution was about the development of agriculture, not capturing others' food. Option B is wrong because farmers and herders became more important with the rise of agriculture. Option C is incorrect as the Neolithic Revolution led to the growth of larger settlements, not smaller ones.

Answer:

D. Societies began dividing people into classes depending on their jobs and prestige.
