Answer 1

Neolithic Age from 4000 BC to 2200 BC

"4000 BC-first evidence of farming appears in the archaeological record.....The Neolithic farmers began to build permanent settlements and, by using fire and more advanced stone tools like polished stone axes, began the deforestation of large sections of land for the planting of crops."

(The Complete Book of Jewelry Making By: Codina)

-Rites and rituals replaced spontaneous magic

-Believed life depended on intelligence and superior forces

-Established the first technical, socioeconomic and religious foundations (increased group socialization)

-The rise of farming and herding brought about trade, so there would have been more contact between various groups bringing about new exchange of ideas, etc.

Good luck; hope this helps a bit.
