The Neolithic Revolution was a defiantly a positive turning point in history because the technology was improved greatly. For example, instead of constantly moving from one location to the other in order to get necessary supplies such as shelter and food, these early people settled down and made homes, where they grow their own crops as shown in document 2. In document three it shows that the revolution is positive because the food is going from wild too domesticated and not having to hunt for it. Another great turning point in history would be the age of exploration becausetrade went from just being in the Mediterranean sea to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
