There are so many important turning points in the history of humanity, but there are a few that are more important. The Neolithic Revolution was an important turning point in history because it played a big part in agriculture. Farming lead to homes, which then lead to social classes, specialized jobs, and larger populations which started villages. People were able to survive off of farming because they had the ability to go out in search of food and since they were stationary they could build their own villages and even create their own writing. The Neolithic period was a fundamental change for the way people lived. By the rise of the Neolithic Revolution social classes were established and civilizations began to rise. The villages began to divide the work between men and women although the women were not needed the men were the leaders of the early societies. The Neolithic farmers created a calendar so that they could keep track of planting and harvesting. They even created plows to help with their work in which some farmers let their animals pull them so their work would be even easier.
Another important turning point in history was the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to the 19th century where major changes in agriculture and even technology in which it had a profound effect on socioeconomic and cultural conditions. Industrialization was a major force for change as it led the west into the machine-dependent modern world (Spielvogel, 80). The first Industrial Revolution, which began in the 18th century, merged into the Second Industrial Revolution around 1850, when economic progress gained momentum with the development of steam ships, railways, and later electrical power generators. The Commercial Revolution was also a major turning point in the history of humanity. Toward the end of the European Middle Ages, the Catholic Church
