Horticultural and Pastoral Societies

This society, started about ten to twelve years ago. They are characteristic by the discovered of the horticulture, they use hand tools to raise crops. Tools like a hoe, used to open the ground’s surface and plant seeds.

The beginning of this society has their first records in the Middle East.

About the pastoral societies, the main activity of them was the domestication of animals. Today, there are a mix among these two societies. Horticulture and pastorals can be found throughout South America, Africa, and Asia.

Pastoralists were nomadic, but horticulturalists made settlements and moving only when the soil gave out.

This society started to exist the material surplus, more resources than needed. Then not everybody have to work. It helped to the evolution of the specialization like: some make crafts, others engage in trade, cut hair, apply tattoos or serve as a priests.

The social inequiality started to appear in these societies because the money went to the some few people. Also here people have a religion belief, about one God creator of everything.
