Were human beings better off after the Neolithic Revolution?

i personally think so but somtimes think no, The Neolithic Revolution, Neolithic Demographic Transition, Agricultural Revolution, or First Agricultural Revolution, was the wide-scale transition of many human cultures during the Neolithic period from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement, making an increasingly larger population possible. These settled communities permitted humans to observe and experiment with plants to learn how they grew and developed. This new knowledge led to the domestication of plants.


Archaeological data indicates that the domestication of various types of plants and animals happened in separate locations worldwide, starting in the geological epoch of the Holocene[4] around 12,500 years ago.[5] It was the world's first historically verifiable revolution in agriculture. The Neolithic Revolution greatly narrowed the diversity of foods available, resulting in a downturn in human nutrition.


The Neolithic Revolution involved far more than the adoption of a limited set of food-producing techniques. During the next millennia it would transform the small and mobile groups of hunter-gatherers that had hitherto dominated human pre-history into sedentary (non-nomadic) societies based in built-up villages and towns. These societies radically modified their natural environment by means of specialized food-crop cultivation, with activities such as irrigation and deforestation which allowed the production of surplus food. Other developments found very widely are the domestication of animals, pottery, polished stone tools, and rectangular houses.


These developments, sometimes called the Neolithic package, provided the basis for densely populated settlements, specialization and division of labour, more trade, the development of non-portable art and architecture, centralized administrations and political structures, hierarchical ideologies, depersonalized systems of knowledge (e.g. writing), and property ownership. The earliest known civilization developed in Sumer in southern Mesopotamia (c. 5,500 BP); its emergence also heralded the beginning of the Bronze Age.


The relationship of the above-mentioned Neolithic characteristics to the onset of agriculture, their sequence of emergence, and empirical relation to each other at various Neolithic sites remains the subject of academic debate, and varies from place to place, rather than being the outcome of universal laws of social evolution. The Levant saw the earliest developments of the Neolithic Revolution from around 10,000 BCE, followed by sites in the wider Fertile Crescent.

What role did the McKinley Tariff play in gaining Hawaii as US state?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

It caused the Hawaiian sugarcane market to be undersold by the American

producers which led to an economic depression that swept the islands

Explanation:

McKinley was the representative of an industrial group interested in high protectionist tariffs. Due to his position on this issue and the support of James Sherman for the presidency in 1888, McKinley got a seat on the budget committee of the House of Representatives, and also became close to influential Ohio entrepreneur Markus Hannah. In 1889, McKinley was elected chairman of the committee and became the main author of the law bearing his name in 1890 (McKinley Tariff Bill), which established high import tariffs. The law slightly reduced duties on some types of goods and significantly (up to 18%) increased them on others. At the same time, it gave the president broad powers to raise and lower tariff rates for Latin American states for political reasons or in the form of reprisals.

The McKinley Tariff eliminated the trade advantage of Hawaii sugar producers, who relied overwhelmingly on American markets, - it was done by entering sugar on the duty-free list and granting a bounty to American sugar growers. Thus, the Hawaiian economy experienced depression, and as a result, growers of white sugar advocated for establishment of an American protectorate or outright annexation.

What is the central message from the 2004 Bush campaign ad? Why is it so effective?​
dlinn [17]
One of the most effective and consistent strategies of the 2004 George W. Bush campaign was the description of John Kerry as a "flip-flopper" who had changed his views for political gain. This line of attack put Kerry in stark contrast to Bush, a man who, his campaign insisted, held firm to his beliefs. This video of John Kerry windsurfing on Nantucket was particularly damaging as it provided a perfect visual metaphor for that plot and also played on the notion that Kerry is an East Coast elitist.
