The correct answers are the following:
The emergence of agriculture and animal domestication, enabled the accumulation of production surplus and gave rise to the first trade activities among human communities during the Neolithic era. Trade, in turn, fostered job division and specialization. Different people were in charge of the different economic activities: hunting, gathering, animal domestication, agriculture, fabrication of tools, etc.
Some economic activities started to be more highly valued. People were willing to give up a larger quantity of their posessions for obtaining, through a barter agreement, a craft knife than for example to obtain recolected fruits. Differently rewarded activities gave rise to the existence of income inequalities within the members of the neolithic socities.
Therefore, social classes started to appear. Protection was desirable as some people started to become richer than others and needed to protect their properties.
Typically, women started to specialize in lowerly-rewarded activities, because they were the ones that required less physical strength. Gender inequalities emerged too.
The correct answers are A) gender inequality. B) greater need for protection. C) emergence of new social classes.
Population growth and the domestication of plants and animals brought on new cultural changes, such as gender inequality, greater need for protection, and the emergence of new social classes.
Since ancient civilization times, humans started to evolve once they stopped being nomads and settled in lands close to Rivers to practice agriculture. Civilizations such as Sumeria established in between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the Middle East learned agriculture techniques and started to prosper. As society was formed hierarchies developed, they founded important city-states such as Ur, Uruk, Lagash, and Kish. That is when population growth and the domestication of plants and animals brought on new cultural changes, such as gender inequality, greater need for protection, and the emergence of new social classes.
