Neolithic, first settlements, famous Çatalhöyük or Göbekli Tepe, domestication of animals and plants, the birth of civilization... These slogans are usually mentioned in the first history lessons at school and then they are left, the material is moved on. The Neolithic Revolution, i.e. the end of the Stone Age, is an extremely fascinating phenomenon, full of interesting threads that have been studied by archaeologists for years, and this topic certainly deserved a separate Historical Conversation. 🤝🏼 You can support the Historical Conversations project: https://patronite.pl/historycznytop 🎙️Check out the offer of the OMG Prime Studio studio: https://omgprimestudio.pl Prof. Arkadiusz Marciniak is a Polish archaeologist, normally associated with Adam Mickiewicz University.
