Hunters and Gathers to Civilization 1. Settled in on area and farmed 2. Farming (agriculture) provided a surplus of food 3. Extra food people began to specialize in other jobs 4. Specializing led to advances in technology like tools, language, metals; copper and then bronze 5. Civilizations began to develop
