Name three outcomes of the Neolithic people living in settled villages?

Living in villages allowed Neolithic people to settle in one place and not have to rely on a hunter/gatherer nomadic lifestyle. This allowed for many different social and technological advancements to take place. One of them was the ability to form early civilizations such as the first city, the city of Jericho. This is also the time we begin to see a transition out of the stone ages and into the Bronze Age. A major reason for this transition was the invention of irrigation which led to early agriculture and domestication of animals. This allowed for people to have a steady food supply which gave them the option to settle and continue living in villages for any length of time. This is also what allowed for people to not only form cities but to also claim vast expanses of land and unify them into what could roughly be called an empire. Such is the case with Mesopotamia as well as in China and in the Ganges river basin. Finally another major consequence was the forming of written and spoken languages as well as early forms of governments and diplomacy (i.e. Hammurabi's Law Code). In short this change to village living is what ultimately gave rise to society and culture as well as paving the way for what has been labeled in the west as the Classical period of ancient history.
