The document summarizes the Neolithic period, when global warming around 13,000 years ago caused many cold climate animals to migrate or disappear. Around 11,000 years ago in the Near East, animals began to be domesticated for breeding rather than just hunting, starting with goats, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, and cows. Agriculture also began as a shift from gathering to farming of plants like wheat, rice, millet, and corn in various regions. People became sedentary, living in small hamlets near cultivated areas. New tools like sickles and grinding stones were invented, as were new materials like pottery and textiles. This Neolithic Revolution marked a change to a settled lifestyle focused on breeding cattle
