Change is a good thing in some cases and a bad thing in others. The start of agriculture and art were very important changes. Without the beginning of agriculture there would be now farming and without farming we would still be hunter gatherers.  Some bad change includes war and epidemics like the black plague.
There was art creations as long ago as 22,000 BCE (Venus of willdorf) this is a statue of a pregnant woman, which is believed to represent fertility. A second occurrence of art dating back to about the same time, cave paintings were important also. They show us what life back then was like and how they managed to survive. This art is important to the advancement of our knowledge of history and time in the past.
The agricultural advancements help provide food for many people who don’t live in areas where they can grow their own food. This means we can populate and create cities in areas where there is not fertile land. These cities can only thrive because of the high yield of products from the fields in other areas. These are two examples of good change, but it doesn’t always happen this way, bad changes like war and disease happen too.

  1. a) Way too brief and doesn't go into nearly enough depth. This is supposed to be an academic essay.

    b) You say that the art shows us what their lives were like, but then you don't give any description explaining what you mean. What were their lives like? And how did the Agricultural Revolution change their lives?
