Paleolithic Vs Neolithic Research Paper
From "(ca. 600,000-6,500 B.C.E)" (Kishlansky, Geary, & O'Brien, 2008, p. 7,10). the Paleolithic and Neolithic era occurred. The Paleolithic era evolved to the Neolithic era. The transformation of these eras are a big advancement in society, in the fact that the Paleolithic era focused on speech and religion while the Neolithic era focusing on the improvement in settlements, and tools. These four compelling transitions from the huntinggathering to food-producing society: Increased technology, advancements in management, the formation of a tiered society, and mercantilism
The Paleolithic era was from "(ca. 600,000-10,000 B.C.E)" (Kishlansky, Geary, & O'Brien, 2008, p. 7).[Good to cite this information, but you don’t need the parentheses or the

This bottom tier would harvest crops and do the hard labor (e.g. building of the
pyramids in Egypt). The artisans would craft and sell the wares which were made.
In recent findings, "the presence there of tools and statues made from stone not
obtainable locally indicates that some trading with distant regions was taking place" (Kishlansky,
Geary, & O'Brien, 2008, p. 11). Both Egypt and Mesopotamia are prime examples of
mercantilism [Again, better to say trade]. Egypt[,] being located on the Nile River, and
Advancements from the Paleolithic to Neolithic Era 4
Mesopotamia[,] being located on the Tigris River and Euphrates River[,] were prime spots for
trading by use of water. Both these cities [They were whole regions or cultures, not cities]
learned a form of trading to exchange with other settlements and cities. They were able to trade
various goods to obtain products, and materials they could not get where they were at. They were
also able to start recording contracts and agreements they had with others in their own cities
