Question

question 5 1 pts what was the most significant long - term consequence of the neolithic revolution for human societies?
the immediate invention of complex writing system
a decreased in global population due to a new disease
a shift from nomadic hunter - gatherer lifestyle to settled agricultural communities, leading to food surpluses and specialization
increased reliance on hunting large game for survival

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Complex writing systems were not an immediate invention of the Neolithic Revolution; writing developed much later, so this is incorrect.
2. Analyze Option 2: The Neolithic Revolution led to the development of agriculture, which supported population growth, not a decrease due to disease, so this is incorrect.
3. Analyze Option 3: The Neolithic Revolution is defined by the shift from hunting - gathering (nomadic) to farming (settled communities). This led to food surpluses as people could grow more food, and with surpluses, people could specialize in other tasks (like crafts, trade, etc.), which is a key long - term consequence.
4. Analyze Option 4: The Neolithic Revolution was about moving away from relying on hunting large game as people started farming; so this is the opposite of what happened, incorrect.

Answer:

C. a shift from nomadic hunter - gatherer lifestyle to settled agricultural communities, leading to food surpluses and specialization (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with this option as C; if the original labeling was different, adjust the label but keep the text)
