Human evolution accelerated after farming transformed Europe
For most of human history in Europe, life moved slowly. After modern humans arrived there around 50,000 years ago, they lived for thousands of years in small groups, hunting animals and gathering plants.
Then everything began to change. Around 10,000 years ago, farming spread across Europe and people started settling down.
About 5,000 years after that, herders from the Eurasian steppes moved into Europe bringing cattle, wheels, and metal tools and weapons. This event brought the Stone Age to a close and opened the way for the Bronze Age.
From there, the pace of change only picked up. Cities emerged, empires spread, and over many centuries human societies became more crowded, more complex, and more connected.
