People started living together in big groups when they had more food and better tools. At first, people lived in small villages near rivers or forests. But as they learned to grow crops and raise animals, they could produce extra food. This meant some people didn’t need to hunt all day, they could work on building houses, making pottery, or even starting new jobs like weaving clothes. Over time, more people moved closer together, and that’s how the first cities began.
Examples
- A farmer grows more wheat than needed, so he can trade some with a weaver in another village.
- Children start learning how to write and count at school instead of just helping their parents farm.
- A group of people builds houses next to each other near a river, forming a small town.
