The revolutionary evolution of culture can be analyzed through a change in the complexity of social organization. Population growth has triggered the need for cohesion, surplus resources, distribution and regulation of surplus involving widespread population trade networks. These causal factors of the Neolithic revolution incorporate other potential causal factors that imply through these three paths a developed sociopolitical transformation, urbanization. By identifying the revolutionary factors of the Neolithic, this article will be able to directly correlate the aspect of urbanization into a generalized description of cause and effect. 12,000-6,500 years ago, the Neolithic period laid a sociopolitical foundation that through various entities and cultural factors developed into a rapid and revolutionary sociopolitical system. Next, because the complexity of urbanization is multifaceted and multivariable in its genesis, I chose to focus my efforts on the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of the ancient Near East, in turn narrowing the perspective to key causal factors, population growth, ritual beliefs and trade, which in my opinion opinions are the basic elements of social complexities (the overlap of population growth resulting in new technology and social developments, as well as religion as a technology of control through the administration of surplus agricultural resources, economy and new technology improved through trade – the process of The Neolithic and the urban revolution are succinctly intertwined), also linking urbanization factors to their potential Neolithic effect. There is no doubt that population growth played a significant role in the transition from bands and kingdoms to state-level societies. “Population was at once the cause and effect of this change in civilization… middle of paper… assuming that apparently all points are the result of sedentism – or increased population. Mesopotamia, during the Neolithic Revolution was prepared for domestication and agriculture. Changing environmental temperatures have given way to the ability to create permanent settlements. It is through these permanent settlements and agricultural technology that inequality was created. Social complexity was required to control population growth and the expansion of foodways. There had to be someone to dictate who does what and when, power was then established and sustained through religious connotations and propaganda of exclusivity. It is through writing this article that I completely agree that “the Neolithic revolution was a technological breakthrough” (Acemoglu 2009:2). Technology adds complexity; it was a natural progression towards the origins of permanent inequality.
