The transition from hunting and gathering to farming - the
Neolithic Revolution - was one of the most signi cant cultural
processes in human history that forever changed the face of
humanity. Natu an communities (15,100-12,000Cal BP) (all dates in
this chapter are calibrated before present) planted the seeds of
change, and the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) (ca. 12,000-ca.
8,350Cal BP) people, were the rst to establish farming communities.
The revolution was not fully realized until quite late in the PPN
and later in the Pottery Neolithic (PN) period. We would like to
ask some questions and comment on a few aspects emphas- ing the
linkage between biological and cultural developments during the
Neolithic Revolution. The biological issues addressed in this
chapter are as follows: x Is there a demographic change from the
Natu an to the Neolithic? x Is there a change in the overall health
of the Neolithic populations compared to the Natu an? x Is there a
change in the diet and how is it expressed? x Is there a change in
the physical burden/stress people had to bear with? x Is there a
change in intra- and inter-community rates of violent encounters?
From the cultural perspective the leading questions will be: x What
was the change in the economy and when was it fully realized? x Is
there a change in settlement patterns and site nature and
organization from Natu an to Neolithic? x Is there a change in
human activities and division of labor?"
