00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,520
Now

2
00:00:45,020 --> 00:01:09,790
in this video we're going to focus on the neolithic i guess you remember that it is

3
00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:17,709
the second so period in the stone age and that neolithic means new stone the neolithic started

4
00:01:17,709 --> 00:01:24,269
more or less between the 10 000 and the 8 000 before christ with the appearing of agriculture

5
00:01:24,269 --> 00:01:29,709
and farming people in this period started to cultivate crops and vegetables and they

6
00:01:29,709 --> 00:01:37,709
domesticated animals they did this so they always had food therefore they started building huts and

7
00:01:37,709 --> 00:01:46,269
small villages we call these people sedentary which means they settled and they did not have

8
00:01:46,269 --> 00:01:56,109
to move anymore from place to place as the nomads did in the paleolithic they stayed in one place

9
00:01:56,109 --> 00:02:05,959
let's see how people might start domesticating animals they knew that animals lived in groups

10
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:46,340
and they decided to lock them up so they build fences and pushed the hurts inside the first

11
00:02:46,340 --> 00:03:04,840
animals people started to domesticate were dogs sheep goats and pigs what about agriculture

12
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,840
Within, this is the way they started cultivating crops.

13
00:03:55,949 --> 00:04:03,580
They discovered that weather conditions were appropriate to grow plants.

14
00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:26,709
Therefore, sedentary people built their villages next to rivers or lakes so that they had access to fresh water so that animals could drink and they could water the plants.

15
00:04:27,709 --> 00:04:33,370
They started growing more food than they could eat, so they began to barter.

16
00:04:33,370 --> 00:04:38,470
This means they started to make trade or exchanging goods.

17
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:42,209
In Spanish, this is called trueque.

18
00:04:42,209 --> 00:04:46,529
Some started to barter milk for fruit, for example.

19
00:04:46,529 --> 00:04:57,610
Trade was the first type of economy in history without using money.

20
00:04:57,610 --> 00:04:59,750
Some people became artisans.

21
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:05,250
created goods that were useful for them like pottery for cooking or just for

22
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:16,250
decoration, baskets, textiles for cloths or tools. They developed more

23
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:23,089
sophisticated tools. For example, they invented the sickle. The sickle was for

24
00:05:23,089 --> 00:05:35,389
collecting crops the invented knives for cutting animals meat or hose to plow the

25
00:05:35,389 --> 00:05:49,920
soil in this video we can see how they polish the tools police means make the

26
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:56,040
surface smooth and shiny this is the main difference between

27
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,040
between Paleolithic and Neolithic tools.

28
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:43,500
as you can see people in the Neolithic did many inventions the most important

29
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:49,560
one without any doubt was the wheel before it existed people had many

30
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,439
problems to move heavy things thanks to the wheel they could do many things like

31
00:06:55,439 --> 00:07:02,319
like building giant stone constructions, like the Stonehenge in Great Britain.

32
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,959
The greatest invention of the Neolithic, the wheel, is still used nowadays for many things.

33
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:30,060
Finally, with the end of the Neolithic period, the Stone Age also finishes.
