Neolithic Village Vs Neolithic Civilization

There are similarities and differences in life in a Neolithic village and life in a first civilization city. In the Neolithic period writing had not begun, instead they had art whereas in the first civilization cities they created cuneiform. Another difference was that the first civilizations were more advanced than in the Neolithic villages. Trade was common in both civilizations as a means to get what they needed or wanted.

The Neolithic Period was a shift to a more civilized man. The people had new ideas and were changing their environment making life easier. The adaptation of agriculture in the Neolithic Era was valuable because it created a stable life rather than a nomadic one. In Neolithic village life they grew crops and indulged

in the arts, their art was mostly of animals and nature. It was also records of them in history, before they began to write. This time period was valuable in that the first civilizations gained from it.
When there is a surplus in crops a city can form through trade of the excess and that is when the first cities came about. There were also many advances made since the Neolithic Era such as, a centralized government, natural air conditioning and the removal of waste. In Mesopotamia their homes were built to catch wind creating an air conditioner. Another idea was to remove waste by letting gravity take it deep underground. They also created a form of writing, cuneiform. The Neolithic villages and first cities had these differences but did share some ideas.
They both traded, Neolithic people traded products once they had an excess in crops so they were not limited to what they could grow. In cities they would trade their surplus of cloth and other materials.
The Neolithic Era was a step towards civilization, there were differences between villages and cities, however; some of the village aspects are found in the first cities. Villages focused on agriculture while cities were more advanced and focused on luxuries like writing and cool air. Cities did have similarities to villages such as they traded their surplus like people in villages had done.
