editThe Neolithic,or the New Stone Age, saw a lot of advancement in human revolution. Early humans began to understand the importance of farming and started moving towards a more settled life Sreenibro (talk) 16:50, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Please remove "However, evidence of social inequality is still disputed, as settlements such as Çatalhöyük reveal a striking lack of difference in the size of homes and burial sites, suggesting a more egalitarian society with no evidence of the concept of capital, although some homes do appear slightly larger or more elaborately decorated than others." and ", which suggests that some influential individuals were able to organise and direct human labour – though non-hierarchical and voluntary work remain possibilities" these are conjecture with no citation. 137.22.48.159 (talk) 19:23, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- I do not think it right to remove the comment as it is generally accepted as fact. You are right that it needs citation and I do not have access to the sources cited in the Çatalhöyük article, so I have tagged the comment 'citation needed'. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:51, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Confused
editI'm confused by this text in the article: "...farming communities had arisen in the Levant and spread to Asia Minor, North Africa and North Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is the site of the earliest developments of the Neolithic Revolution." If farming arose outside Mesopotamia (in the Levant, which I take to mean Syria or thereabouts), then how can its "earliest development" be in Mesopotamia? Some clarification is needed. Mcswell (talk) 17:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- The basis of both statments is unclear as they are uncited, and I have removed the Mesopotamia comment to make the article less confusing. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:58, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- In fact both parts are inaccurate. Farming appears at more or less the same time in the Levant, (Upper) Mesopotamia and other regions of Southwest Asia. – Joe (talk) 10:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
The article had always been BC until this undiscussed edit by an ip a couple of months ago. I will change it back. Johnbod (talk) 02:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
