The start of a new era, the Neolithic era also known as the New Stone age in which the development of evolution, new tools, agriculture, domestication and many more civilized standards of living. The ability to observe and learn to spread the knowledge to evolve, to find new ways of cultivating faster by using resources. These resources were seen as advantages due to geographical location.

Some worshipped women as having greater power, others believed in equality and well some followed a spiritual route of understanding such as many of us due today. Settlements started to form because of this new era of being able to plant your resources in the same area without travel.
