The transition in diet and the process of obtaining food changed dramatically at the beginning of the Neolithic period. Many anthropologists know this transition as the Neolithic Revolution (Bocquet-Appel 2011: 560). During the Neolithic Revolution, the population of homo sapiens increased significantly and this increase in population was accompanied by an increase in advantages and disadvantages. The increase in population was due to the life of the farmer and food producer. When the transition to agriculture occurred, life was more suitable for more children. In a time when people were constantly on the move, having multiple young children was not ideal. Young children had to be transported and caring for three young children unable to walk would result in a difficult mobile life for the mother and possibly the death of the young child. When people began to cultivate agriculture, more villages were built. In the village, people were able to keep an eye on many young children. Fertility rates have increased due to the number of multiple children in a short period of time. The population also increased because child labor became a necessity and a need. The increase in population allowed children to learn the methods of domesticating plants and animals so that everyone had a job to do in the villages, which allowed the village to prosper. Agriculture then evolved into food production which allowed people to control their crops and produce their own food. The transition to life as a farmer and producer brought advantages, but the disadvantages increased. By relying more on population, the reproductive fitness of people at that time increased. Despite a sharp increase in malnutrition and mortality rates, the population continued to increase. It was always balanced. Alas...... middle of paper ...... -the collections were better. There weren't many problems with the diet of pre-Neolithic people. They had a better distribution of their muscles and their work. They all had tasks that worked the entire body, from location to location, down to their specific tasks. Neolithic peoples had work that a small group of people did, whether it was weaving baskets or tending produce. Regardless, more tension was applied to a certain part of the body, which fully exercised the entire body. This has been proven by the wear and tear of the remains left by Neolithic people. As previously stated, disease was probably the main drawback of the agricultural revolution due to the deadly effects of diseases that occurred during this time. As previously stated, the food diet of Neolithic people was not as healthy as the lives of hunter-gatherers..
