Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The switch from subsistence by food gathering to food production was a momentous revolution that made stable settlements possible. This enabled people to settle down in one place, leading to the development of civilization. There is no evidence to suggest that this required people to give up their faith in storm and wind gods or that women were no longer part of the labor force. In fact, women played a critical role in agriculture. Additionally, the switch to food production actually made raising domestic animals as livestock more feasible for many societies.
