The Neolithic Revolution is considered a turning point in history because it

(1) influenced climatic changes

(2) included the domestication of plants and animals

(3) encouraged a nomadic lifestyle

(4) caused a decline in population

 

The primary reason the Bantu-speaking people of West Africa migrated southward and eastward between 500 B.C. and A.D. 1500 was to

(1) Iron Age

(2) Old Stone Age

(1)   Fire was used as a source of energy for the first time.

(2)   Spoken language was used to improve communication.

(3)   Domestication of animals and cultivation of crops led to settled communities.

(4)   Stone tools and weapons were first developed.

 

What is the best title for this diagram?

(1) Elements of Belief Systems

(2) Characteristics of Classical Civilizations

(3) Benefits of the Counter Reformation

(4) Changes during the Neolithic Revolution

(3)   Access to the Atlantic Ocean provided trade routes.

(4)   Large savanna areas provided protection from invaders.

 

Which geographic factor had a major influence on the development of both Egyptian and Babylonian
