Neolithic people, also known as the New Stone Age people, lived around 10,000 to 3,000 BCE. They transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering to settled farming communities. This shift allowed them to cultivate crops and domesticate animals, leading to the development of agriculture. As a result of their new way of life, Neolithic people built permanent homes and established villages. They created pottery and tools, which improved their daily tasks. This period also saw the construction of megalithic structures, such as Stonehenge, reflecting their social organization and cultural practices.
