The Neolithic Revolution is a agricultural revolution that is the change from nomadic hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement. The first agricultural revolution had major social changes. It increasied population density, the organization of a hierarchical society, standing armies, state institutions, barter, trade and the expansion of human "control" over nature.
In particular, in opposition to the moveable personal property and communal property of the nomadic hunter-gatherer, a new way of life began that introduced private property, private ownership of land and buildings, valuable artifacts. Slavery also started in human evolution, in almost all continents, where captured humans were considered as "things", the private property of wealthy individuals and families. Also introduced inheritance and marriage.
