Neolithic Britain, which lasted from around 4000 to 2500 BCE, marked a significant transition in human history. During this period, communities shifted from a nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering to settled farming, leading to the establishment of permanent villages and the construction of monumental structures like Stonehenge. This era is characterized by advancements in agriculture, pottery, and tool-making. The people of Neolithic Britain cultivated crops and domesticated animals, which allowed for population growth and the development of complex societies. The rich archaeological record, including burial mounds and standing stones, provides insight into their beliefs and daily life.
