The agricultural revolution was more beneficial than consequential. In the lecture video, “Video: Agricultural Revolution,” professor Herbst states how there was a surplus of food, in which time was reduced working on food and instead put into the advancement and spread of culture and technology. With the additional advancement of culture, permanent settlements were created because people did not need to move across the lands to gather and hunt for food. However, due to the extensive cultivation of plants and the domestication of large groups of animals, greenhouse gases were being produced, as well as diseases from the cluster of animals. Although the consequences of global warming and the introduction of complex diseases are relevant to today, the agricultural revolution provides modern-day humans a place to call “home” with the inclusion of modern-day technology and diverse but intricate culture to represent who we are.
