Episode 95: Andrea Matranga on the Causes of the Neolithic Revolution
This paper proposes a new explanation for the Neolithic Revolution (i.e. the switch from nomadic hunter-gatherers to sedentary farmers). The explanation is based around the notion of risk in calorie consumption. The increase in seasonality at the end of the last ice age increased the attractiveness of food storage and decreased the value of chasing food sources from location to location.
