Similar and distinctive features of the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods.

In the Mesolithic and Neolithic, people were in a state of primitiveness, mainly stone tools were used. True, already in the Neolithic era, dramatic changes took place. Man learned to cultivate the land, began to domesticate wild animals. This is how agriculture and cattle breeding arose. This became the reason for the emergence of large settlements, which after a while turned into the first cities. Then man learned to work metal, but this was already in the Chalcolithic period.
