Which of the following lists the start of the agricultural revolution according to absolute chronology?
A. AD 500
B. after hunting and gathering
C. post-Spanish exploration
D. 5000 BC****
Wow! There's an "absolute chronology"? That's news to me!
But that's the best answer of the four choices, yes.
That might be... because every time I try to research it, it shows 10,000 B.C.
The only other one that comes close is B -- but those two (hunting&gathering and agriculture) overlapped. Humans couldn't just stop one completely and then start the other!!
But I still think D is the best of these four.
The correct answer is A. 500 BC
The start of the agricultural revolution according to absolute chronology is represented by option D: 5000 BC.
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the concept of absolute chronology. Absolute chronology refers to the actual dates or specific time periods in history. In this case, we are looking for the specific date or time period when the agricultural revolution began.
To determine the start of the agricultural revolution, you can search for information about the timeline of human history and the development of agriculture. The agricultural revolution marks the transition from a nomadic lifestyle dependent on hunting and gathering to a settled lifestyle centered around the cultivation of crops and domestication of animals.
By studying historical and archaeological evidence, researchers have estimated that the agricultural revolution began around 10,000 years ago. This estimation places the start of the agricultural revolution at approximately 8,000 BC. Option D, which states 5000 BC, falls within this estimated time period and is therefore the correct answer.
