Question

how did the need for storing food result in the development of neolithic pottery?

Answer 1

With the development of agriculture, humans began to radically transform

the environments in which they lived. A growing portion of humans became

sedentary cultivators who cleared the lands around their settlements and

controlled the plants that grew and the animals that grazed on them. The

greater presence of humans was also apparent in the steadily growing size and

numbers of settlements. These were found both in areas that they had long

inhabited and in new regions that farming allowed them to settle. This great

increase in the number of sedentary farmers is primarily responsible for the

leap in human population during the Neolithic transition. For tens of

thousands of years before agriculture was developed, the total number of

humans had fluctuated between an estimated five and eight million persons. By

4000 B.C., after four or five millennia of farming, their number had risen to

60 or 70 million. Hunting-and-gathering bands managed to subsist in the zones

between cultivated areas and continued to war and trade with sedentary

peoples. But villages and cultivated fields became the dominant features of

human habitation over much of the glob
