The Paleolithic Age is the Artifacts that are Old Stone Age.
And those Artifacts are clothing,tool's,weapon's,and coin's.
The Neolithic Age is the new Artifacts that we have now.
Like quarter's,screwdrivers,
hammers,T-shirts and pants,and we have guns for the police to protect the city.
I learned that Stable food supply means that sumerians invented the plow. Today,families in iraq[ancient sumer] still farm the land using ox-drawn plows.
I learned that Larger communities could also defend themselves more easily against enemies.
I learned that the first great change brought about by agriculture
was the development of permanent shelters.
I learned that these first cities were like small independent countries. And were called city-states.
I learned that having a stable food supply allowed people to develop new kinds of jobs.
I learned that another major change in neolithic times was the growth of trade.
I learned that like the hominids who came beforethem,early humans were hunter-gatherers.
Agriculture changed the world because durning the paleolithic age , people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering plants.And early farmers also learned how to domesticate animals,raising and using them for their own purpose.
I learned that the sumerians most important invention was the wheel.
I learned that the sumerians created a written language called cuneiform.
I learned that sumerians invented two things to help them create a stable food supply.
I learned that a social structure includes diffrent jobs and social levels.
I learned that all civilizations have a system of government to direct peoples behavoir and make life orderly.
I think that technology is the important one because all civilizations create new forms of technology.
The hammurabi code is the code of laws to unify his empire and to preserve order.
eye for eye means if another men poke another mans eye than they take that mans eye and give it to the person who gets hurt.
tooth for a tooth means if another man nocks another mans tooth than the government will nock his tooth.
The civilizations need laws because if they dont have laws than the peole wont obey the king or empire.

1. Paleothic age is when people got food by hunting wilds animals and gathering nuts and other plants and fruits. Old Stone Age.
2. Neolithic age is when people settle down to live in one place. New Stone Age.
3. Agriculture changed the world by permanent shelters. People with permanent shelters can cook and they will have a place were they can keep there food. Permanent shelters also help by protecting them from difficult weather and undomesticated animals.
• Permanents shelters get growing, from permanents shelters to a community, from a community to a city-state, from a city-state to an empire.......
• Agriculture also changed the world by making a stable food supply.
. Because of agriculture and permanents shelters Sumerians were allowed to make new jobs like; trading, toolmakers, basket makers, and weavers.
• Agriculture changed the world by not having to go gathering food because now they could trade with order persons, not having to go gathering, only need to trade with orders.
4. A Fertile Crescent is an area that is shaped like a C or a quarter-moon.
5. 1.Stable food supply 2.technology 3.goverment 4.writing 5.social structure
1. Stable food supply is went you got food, that you don’t need to go hunting and gathering food because you already got food. It’s important to have a stable food supply because you don’t have to go hunting a maybe get kill by wilds animals. An the time you are gathering and hunting you could be doing something else.
2. Technology is important because it can help you do a lot of things like: make the wheel, make an arch. Its helps you make and learn lots of thing.
3. Government is important because with out the government people will be crazy killing each other, doing what ever they want.
4. Writing is important because people can communicate with each other. Like if the court is looking for someone and they don’t find them they could write posters a write the person name an things……….
5. Art is important because for so people went they paint they express there fillings. Art is also important because if ancient people wrote them we can tell what the picture is trying to say and we can learn from them.
• I pick stable food supply because if the ancient people don’t have food they need to go hunting or gathering and maybe the are going to get kill by a wild animal or get poison by a poison food. Then they are going to be dieing faster because they need food.
6. A. The Hammurabi code is laws written by Hammurabi the king of Babylonian.
B. That what you do to someone the court will do the same thing to you; for example is you kill my kid the court will kill your kid too.
C. laws are so important to civilization because it is the way to keep order, if we didn’t have laws everything would be a mess because could kill each other they could do what ever they want.

Euphrates river.
