The Neolithic began roughly twelve thousand years ago and is actually marked by the first evidence of farming taking place in the fertile crescent of Western Asia. These early farms cultivated a small range of crops, such as spelt, wheat, einkorn and millet, and still kept dogs in their settlements to assist with hunting for meat. It wasn't until 8000 BC when modern domesticated animals such as pigs, goats and sheep were brought into human settlements. Where the Neolithic ends depends on where you are located.

These West Asian cultures were the first to progress out of the Neolithic with the advent of metallurgy, as they headed into the Bronze Age. Other regions of the world took longer to advance, with cultures in Africa first progressing at around 3150 BC, and Europe in 2000 BC. Today, then, we will be examining these cultures in greater detail. How did the Neolithic humans of Europe, Asia and Africa live their lives? How did they progress, learn and thrive in the early historical landscapes they would grow to call home? Join us as we answer these questions and more, exploring the Neolithic: the mysterious and ancient 'new stone age'.
