Dating to approximately 3000 B.C.E. and set on SalisburyPlain in England, it is a structure larger and more complex than anything built beforeit in Europe. Stonehenge is an example of the cultural advances brought about bythe Neolithic revolution-the most important development in human history. Theway we live today, settled in homes, close to other people in towns and cities,protected by laws, eating food grown on farms, and with leisure time to learn, exploreand invent is all a result of the Neolithic revolution, which occurred approximately11,500-5,000 years ago. The revolution which led to our way of life was thedevelopment of the technology needed to plant and harvest crops and to domesticateanimals.Before the Neolithic revolution, it's likely you would have lived with your extendedfamily as a nomad, never staying anywhere for more than a few months, always livingin temporary shelters, always searching for food and never owning anything youcouldn't easily pack in a pocket or a sack. The change to the Neolithic way of life washuge and led to many of the pleasures (lots of food, friends and a comfortable home)that we still enjoy today.(Stonehenge, c. 3,000 B.C.E., Salisbury Plain, England)Neolithic Art. The massive changes in the way people lived also changed the typesof art they made. Neolithic sculpture became bigger, in part, because people didn'thave to carry it around anymore; pottery became more widespread and was used tostore food harvested from farms. This is when alcohol was first produced and whenarchitecture, and its vivid interior and exterior decoration, first appears. In short,people settle down and begin to live in one place, year after year.It seems very unlikely that Stonehenge could have been made by earlier,Palcolithic, nomads. It would have been a waste to invest so much time and energybuilding a monument in a place to which they might never return or might onlyreturn infrequently. After all, the effort to build it was extraordinary. Stonehengeis approximately 320 feet in circumference and the stones which compose the outerring weigh as much as 50 tons; the small stones, weighing as much as 6 tons, werequarried from as far away as 450 miles. The use or meaning of Stonehenge is notclear, but the design, planning and execution could have only been carried out by aculture in which authority was unquestioned. Here is a culture that was able to rallyhundreds of people to perform very hard work for extended periods of time. This isanother characteristic of the Neolithic era.

Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent.They lived in…
