Can the Neolithic Revolution be viewed as modernization, and why?

The Neolithic period covers time intervals of 10-7 thousand years BC. Historians also assign to this period of time such a phenomenon as the “Neolithic Revolution”, which marked the transition of the development of mankind into a new era. This was due to the fact that people gradually began to move from a collective economy to a derivative one, that is, they mastered agriculture and the first crops (wheat, barley). Thus, the sedentary came to replace the nomadic way of life. Naturally, such a revolution can be called modernization, because this required the appearance of new objects of labor, including for the cultivation of the land.
