(Once you choose ill send my 100 word blurb answering the question… 14- On the Mesolithic as a preadaptation for agriculture… It has been said that the settlement and subsistence patterns of the Mesolithic effectively “pre-adapted” Mesolithic people for the eventual development or adoption of agriculture. Do you agree with this statement? Discuss. 15- On the social, political and religious changes that accompanied the beginnings of agriculture… Agriculture in the Old World had an impact that went far beyond changes in the economy and technology. Discuss how the social, political and religious aspects of Neolithic life changed as agriculture developed. 16- On early agriculture in the Andes… Briefly discuss how the domestication of quinoa, llamas, alpacas, and guinea pigs may have been a co-evolutionary process in the Andean region. 20- On the socio-political organization of the Shang and Harappan civilizations… Briefly compare what we know about the social and political organization of the Shang Dynasty in northern China with that of the Indus Valley Harappan civilization in Pakistan and India. How were they similar and/or different? 21- On the function of European megaliths… Consider the wide variety of megalithic structures of late Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age societies of Europe.
