AP World History: How did the Neolithic Revolution lead to civilization?
Meet Otzi the Ice Man!
NY State Learning Standards 2Common Core RS 1, 2, 7, WS 1
Otzi the Ice Man“Ötzi the Iceman, Europe's oldest mummy, likely suffered a head injury before he
died roughly 5,300 years ago, according to a new protein analysis of his brain tissue.
Ever since a pair of hikers stumbled upon his astonishingly well-preserved frozen body in the Alps in 1991, Ötzi has become one of the most-studied ancient human specimens. His face, last meal, clothing and genome have been reconstructed — all contributing to a picture of Ötzi as a 45-year-old, hide-wearing, tattooed agriculturalist who was a native of Central Europe and suffered from heart disease, joint pain, tooth decay and probably Lyme disease before he died.
None of those conditions, however, directly led to his demise. A wound reveals Ötzi was hit in the shoulder with a deadly artery-piercing arrow, and an undigested meal in the Iceman's stomach suggests he was ambushed, researchers say.
A few years ago, a CAT scan showed dark spots at the back of the mummy's cerebrum, indicating Ötzi also suffered a blow to the head that knocked his brain against the back of his skull during the fatal attack.” –Huffington Post 2013
I What was the Neolithic Revolution?A) From the time of the first hominid (6-7 million years ago), until
8,000 BCE was the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age).B) In 8,000 BCE the Neolithic Revolution changed the way humans live
around the world. People learned how to farm, settled in communities, and domesticated animals.
A revolution is a sudden, radical or
complete change in a society.

The Spread of the Neolithic Revolution
Neolithic Agriculture
An ancient Egyptian ploughing and planting using the help of cows.
A Neolithic grindstone to make flour from grain.
Ancient Egyptian funerary model of a beer brewery.
Animal DomesticationDuring the Neolithic, people began to breed wild animals
in order to create more docile offspring. These animals were often used to help in farming.
What was the Neolithic Revolution continued…C) By building permanent settlements, societies were able to
store a surplus (extra) of food. This eventually led to…
Surplus of food & large population
Water supply (often by river)
Complex infrastructure
(buildings, roads)
Complex government Complex religion
Job differentiation (people do
different jobs based on skills)
Class differentiation (people are ranked based on wealth and/or status)
Trade
CIVILIZATION
II Rise of the first citiesA) Catal Huyuk
Modern Turkey – First settled 7,000 BCE
B) JerichoModern Israel – First settled 7,000
BCE
Catal Hoyuk
Catal Hoyuk Houses
Catal Hoyuk houses were made from sun dried mud brick.
Jericho City Walls
Jericho Tower
At approximately 6,000 years old, this may be the oldest building still standing!
Neolithic Art at Jericho
These are plastered human skulls with seashells for eyes. What do you think their purpose was?
Granary at Megiddo (Modern Israel)
Granaries were built to store a surplus of grain for trade, as well as insurance against drought or a poor crop season.
A) Grinding Stone•Grinds grain into flour for bread and beer
B) Potters Wheel (c.6000BCE)•Allows the faster construction of potteryC) Irrigation & Animal Pulled Plows•Allows further increase of food production
III Further Technological Advancements
Further technological advancements continued…D) The working of metals became very important in the
making of tools and weapons.
1. Stone Age (Paleolithic)Made tools and weapons from stone
2. Copper Age 3500 – 2300 BCEMelted copper ore to create stronger tools and weapons.3. Bronze Age 2300 – 1000 BCESmelted (melted together) copper and tin ores to form bronze.4. Iron Age 1000 BCE – 550 BCEHotter smelting ovens allowed for the melting of iron ore.
Bronze Age Smelting Recreation
That’s some good smelting!
III Stonehenge… A Neolithic Mystery
A) Stonehenge is a Neolithic monument in southern England. It was built between 3100 and 1100 BCE in stages.
B) At its height, there were 80 standing stones. The largest stones weighed 25 tons, and they were moved from Wales 240 miles away!
C) It may have been used as a burial site, for ceremonies, and/or as an astronomical calendar to aid in farming.D) Historians are still unsure who built it.

Advantages Costs
Steady food supplies
Increased populations
Leads to civilization
Accumulation of wealth
Crop failure may lead to starvation
Disease from close contact with animals, humans, & waste
Increased wealth leads to increased conflict
IV Costs and Advantages of the Neolithic Revolution
V Development of River Valley CivilizationsBy 3500BCE, relatively large, advanced civilizations had developed along
the Indus, Huang He, Nile, and Tigris & Euphrates Rivers.
