The Neolithic demographic revolution started 10,000 years ago. Following the invention of agriculture and animal rearing, human groups settled (stopped being nomadic) and the population of the world started to slowly increase. Villages, then cities, and finally States were established; social groups became non-egalitarian and violent (wars).
"Settlement" means:
- the process of settling an area (exempli gratia: “the Irish settled in America”)
- a small community.
