[edit] Neolithic

The shift from food gathering to food producing due to the incline in world wide temperatures. Nomads were then able to settle in societies because they no longer had to move around for food. Irrigation systems were used to bring water from rivers to the crops. Farming led to a surplus of food, which could support a higher population. Because no one had to move around to find food, so then specialization came about.
