Some of the key characteristic phases of development in pre-historical humanity include the domestication of animals and the development of managed food production. These factors were instrumental in allowing early humans to move from a primitive hunter gatherer social structure, into a more intelligent society that allowed communities to grow in size and complexity. Domesticated animals played a key role in the development of early civilization because it provided animals as both a tool and as a sustained food source. Animals were used to transport goods long distance and also allowed a food source outside of having to hunt them. This allowed communities to stay in one place and develop rather than be nomadic and always following around their food supplies. The agricultural revolution was also key in the development of early civilization as it allowed for crop production in masses through more advanced farming techniques. Being able to produce more quantities of food in one place allowed communities to be larger, and also allowed these goods to be used as wealth and traded with other communities. The emergence of these factors in early history allowed humans to become more organized, communities to grow, and ultimately was the precursor that led to the birth of the first ancient cities.
