What major changes occurred in human life as a result of the Neolithic Revolution?
We eat food from farms now. Before the Neolithic Revolution, we were hunter-gatherers and we didn't have agriculture and we didn't have domesticated livestock (except perhaps we had dogs for hunting). We also started to settle down more permanently in villages and cities.

Agriculture. the beginnings of village life and static homes. Religious monuments.
