The next era after the Paleolithic period, which came about 12,000 years ago was called the neolithic period. Like the Paleolithic period was known as the "Old Stone Age", the neolithic period is known as the "New Stone Age". During the neolithic period is when the "agriculture revolution" came into play. The agriculture revolution gradually took over the gatherer-hunter period for mankind. Because the people that lived during the Paleolithic period couldn't grow their own food they had to make with what they had, so they gathered foods and hunted for their meats to maintain a healthy diet. But now during the Neolithic period, people began to grow their own food. The agriculture revolution was a huge transformation for all human life throughout Earth and provided foundation for: growing populations, settled villages, animal-borne disease, horse-drawn chariot warfare, cities, states, empires, civilizations, writing, literature, and much more. Along with the development of agriculture, it also created more of the "thats mine" aspect. During the Paleolithic period, the people of the tribes tended to share what they had with everyone. The shared food, clothing, women, children, basically everything because they were all seen as equals to each other. Now that agriculture was developed, they didn't need to rely on anyone else. In the tribes they would rely on others to help gather and hunt because that took a group effort. But now, they had their own land, with their own crops, and they didn't want to share their earnings with anyone else. They became more independent and selfish. They started saying, "this is my food, my wife, my children, my crops, you can't have any".
