Neolithic Era
Agriculture: Farming was first invented over 12,000 years ago, where people from the Fertile Crescent realised that a few months after planting seeds in the ground, they would grow into edible crops. If farming wasn't invented, most people would have never lived, because 80% of food comes from farmers or farms.
Cities/Communal Living: The first city was built around 9,000 B.C, and was named Çatalhöyük and was located in Modern-Day Turkey. People did not have doors in this ancient city, and people entered homes from rooftops with ladders or stairs. Cities were a breakthrough in how people lived their lives, as now schools and hospitals would be built, improving quality and length of life.
Alcohol: Alcohol was invented in 7000 B.C, and was an alternative to water, as people often found it taste better, another reason alcohol is very popular is because it never expires to an extent where it can cause sickness, only loses flavour. Alcohol also doubles as an antiseptic for wounds or a flammable liquid for certain foods that are lit on fire.
