Answer:
The transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic is one of the most important moments in human history. During the Paleolithic, which comprises about 99% of human history, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, and lived a nomadic lifestyle.
The Neolithic started around 12,000 in the near east, more specifically in the Levant and Mesopotamia, and was marked by the adoption of agriculture, and the change from a nomadic lifestyle to a sedentary lifestyle.
During the Neolithic, agriculture allowed the production of surplus food that allowed the divison of labor and the founding of the first cities such as Jericho and Damascus.
