They had to develop skills which were no longer nomadic...

Such as, the development of sanitation, architecture/building permanent dwellings, security/military protection, responsibilities related to farming/irrigation, and make the transition of having an Alpha male & female to separate households, i.e. marriage & family units...

Answer 3

The Neolithic, or New Stone Age, generally covers the period from 10,000 years ago. It is marked by the "Neolithic Revolution" that coincided with the end of the last ice age. The revolution consisted of domestication of animals, intensive cultivation of certain food plants, and ground stone tools. This lead to the rise of permanent habitations. One of the greatest advances was the development of artistic expression. This is highlighted by the great Neolithic cave paintings and stone "Venus's" Venus figurines are some of the oldest examples of art in the world. They are small figures of the female form. Those physical characteristics of the female are greatly enlarged. The face is lacking in detail and is often just hinted at. Some figures are deliberately broken; some are very detailed, while some are plain, shaped only roughly. They are thought to represent a fertility religion. They are found spread throughout Europe and Asia.

While stone was still the main material for tools, people changed their techniques to get more tools out of the same amount of rock. Grinding stone tools became common. This greatly increased their effectiveness. A ground stone axe has 80% of the cutting power of a filed steel axe. The ungrounded hand axes couldn't compete.

Part of the reason for the 'revolution' is due to population growth and agriculture. Where bands could split and move to new territory, the population numbers prevented this. This appears to be when agriculture and settlements began. It's also when people's health started to decline.
