In this episode, we examine how humanity transition from a society entirely made up of hunter-gatherers, to a settled society reliant on agriculture.

So this is the second of the two episodes covering prehistory. The next few episodes will delve into the first civilisations around the globe that appeared as a result of the Neolithic Revolution. Thanks for watching!

Someone is going to ask so I'll just answer it ahead of time, BCE means "before common era" it's the same as BC or "before Christ", meaning the dates correlate exactly.

Man. Ollie and Vologda really killed it. I can't wait!

[samlund]

I love that the co-narrators keep switching between each other.

Personally, I like Vologda more than Gollum🤣

[Adam.montef]

So excited for this series. Great way to unwind while still doing something useful

[ryanrigley]

These videos keep on getting better Ollie Bye. Well done!

better farming was just invented, in a sweet dank valley right in between these two rivers.
*guess what happens next*
more food.
and more people who came to buy the food.
now you need people to help make the food and keep track of the sales.
and now you need houses for people to live in and people to make the houses, and now there's more people and they invent things, which makes things better and more people come and there's more farming and more people to make more things for more people and now there's business, money, writing, laws, power.
*Society*
coming soon to a dank river valley near you.

Great video but you forgot to mention the Sahel region of West Africa as one of the independent founders of Agriculture.

Hunter-Gathering & Pastoralism: *Exists*
Neolithic Revolution; I’m about to end this whole man’s career

As an archaeology student I have to say this video was quite ok. Some oversimplification of course, but for an educational material it's all right. However I'm a bit disappointed that you won't cover the prehistory of Europe and other regions, they're just as exciting as the Middle East.

Sp far, this series is really becoming nostalgic!

[danochy]

Is it just me, or is this exactly what we've all been looking for for years now?

[Cybernaut]

Perhaps the greatest revolution in the world.

[skykid]

Nice video! While it's not as important to mention for the understanding of prehistory, it's still worth mentioning that fishing was extremely important to all of these cultures, before and after agriculture.

[Kariakas]

Keep up the good work, love your videos

[sciblastofficial]

Hey Ollie Bye at the end of this series join all of these into a movie called History of the World: The Story of Our Origins
