Today west civ we finally started actually learning things. We started with learning about Prehistory and Civilization. It was really interesting to learn about the first people and how they evolved. At first, people had to hunt and gather their food because they had nothing close to the technology we have today. The earliest prehistoric age was the Stone Age. After that came the New Stone Age when they starting to develop things to help people live like knives out of rocks and they also started agriculture by growing their own food. This continued over thousands of years. Population then started to increase because the women were at home more taking care of the children. The invention of the plow and the wheel were big advances, too. The main area people were at this time was called the Fertile Cresent, which is now Iraq and Syria.
