Paleolithic vs. Neolithic: The Ultimate Stone Age Showdown 🪨🥖

🏃‍♂️ Paleolithic:

• “Catch food or starve!”

• Homes = caves or whatever didn’t bite back.

• Fire = big deal.

• Tools = sharp rocks and good luck.

🧑‍🌾 Neolithic:

• “Grow food and chill!”

• Built houses and villages—hello, real estate!

• Invented farming, pottery, and Pinterest-worthy baskets.

• Tools = upgraded rocks (with attitude).

The Agricultural Revolution:

Once upon a time, humans were tired of chasing their dinner. So, they got smart and said, “Hey, what if we grow our food instead of running after it?” Boom—farming was born!

They planted stuff, built villages, and suddenly had way more time to invent things like pottery, wheelbarrows, and arguments over who owns what land.

Goodbye, wild hunting life. Hello, weeding forever. 🌾😅
