Why was agricultural revolution called dawn of civilization?

The agricultural revolution marked the transition from nomadic lifestyles to settled communities, leading to the development of villages, towns, and eventually cities. By cultivating crops and domesticating animals, humans were able to establish permanent settlements and create surplus food, which allowed for population growth, specialization of labor, and the development of social hierarchies. This shift laid the foundation for the development of complex societies, laws, and institutions that are characteristic of civilizations.
