In the period of the Neolithic Revolution, roughly 8000-4000 BCE, [11] Agro pastoralism in India included threshing, planting crops in rows and storing grain in granaries.

[79] The prehistoric site of Mehrgarh in Baluchistan (modern Pakistan) is the earliest Neolithic site in the north-west Indian subcontinent, dated as early as 8500 BCE. [79]
The Neolithic decline was a rapid collapse in populations between about 3450 and 3000 BCE [1] [2] during the Neolithic period in western Eurasia. The specific causes of that broad population decline are still debated. [ 2 ]

The Stone Age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make stone tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted for roughly 3.4 million years [1] and ended between 4000 BC and 2000 BC, with the advent of metalworking. [2] It therefore represents nearly 99.3% of human history.
[11] [12] The beginnings of the period—the early Renaissance of the 15th century and the Italian Proto-Renaissance from around 1250 or 1300—overlap considerably with the Late Middle Ages, conventionally dated to c. 1350–1500, and the Middle Ages themselves were a long period filled with gradual changes, like the modern age; as a ...
