JulsSmile [24]

Before the Neolithic Revolution, people were generally nomads. This means that they moved around constantly in order to survive. There wasn't the technology or knowledge to be able to settle permanently in one place and sustain life. The most important aspects of the Neolithic Revolution was the ability to domestic animals and grow crops, create a long-term settlement, and, in doing these things, have leisure time to learn crafts, explore, and invent. The Neolithic Revolution allowed tribes to settle in a permanent location, people to learn crafts such as being an artist, and families to plant and harvest crops. Before this time, people hunted and roamed around, devoting all their time just to survival.

Answer: B. A family hunts for food in order to survive.
