In Neolithic societies:
1. Most Neolithic societies were fairly egalitarian and produced food through a mix of foraging and farming. This means that they had a more equal distribution of power and resources among their members compared to hierarchical societies.
2. Foraging involved hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plants for food. This was a common practice in early human societies before the development of agriculture.
3. Farming, on the other hand, involved cultivating crops and raising domesticated animals for food. This transition from foraging to farming marked a significant shift in how societies obtained their food.
4. The combination of foraging and farming allowed Neolithic societies to have a diverse food supply, which contributed to their ability to settle in one place for longer periods of time and establish more permanent settlements.
