Thesis: Neolithic traders, have created many fundamental ideas, if it weren’t really for them, the world wouldn’t have much. They created many ideas that are still used today and could be considered one of the biggest changing points in humanity. It was an age of innovation, not with anything to do with machines, things like trade, language, and many other ideas too. Neolithic traders discovered new ways to make tools, transportation, and have jewelry. Those were just a sample of what Neolithic traders could’ve done.
Neolithic traders go all the way back to 7000 BCE in Europe, where it all starts. The Neolithic age had many great ideas, and one of them is agriculture. Agriculture is cultivating life for human use. This was a big step in the right direction for humans, we still farm and it’s still very effective even today. But this also allowed for more innovation and creations. One of which is permanent settlements and even civilizations.
This happened over a period of time, people do not know exactly when, but they can tell because it’s not like Neolithic people could plant a seed and know what to do. The same applies to the domestication of animals. The first animal ever domesticated was the sheep, this a lot of time, perseverance, and several human generations to fully domesticate it. This made a great impact on Neolithic people because since they now domesticated it, they could farm it and not have to go live a nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering.
Agriculture lead to civilizations also, it’s a chain reaction of things and agriculture created a path for civilizations. At first Neolithic people, after an established agriculture, created small settlements because they had a stable food supply from farming and didn’t have to go anywhere. But then this created a surplus, making it possible for more people to live in these settlements. As they grew bigger and bigger, so did their ideas and innovations. Some of them because they didn’t have to be farmers set out for their own goals on what they wanted to be to contribute to society. After that, because of agriculture, people now had more time to do whatever they want, which could’ve given them time to create the things needed for a civilization.
Permanent homes are supposed to be taken as a huge deal, it changed the very fundamental lifestyles of the human race. It could be considered a turning-point, and some could go as far as saying this is the most important part of human history. It was a very hard change though, like farming, it took just as long or even longer to transfer from a Nomadic lifestyle.
Neolithic traders also did something in their name, trade. Trading makes up a vast part of today's world in society. It’s very important and it came from the Neolithic era, Neolithic people were the first humans to trade. But the first thing that most trade needs is communication through one way or another, which comes language, but then it stops dead in it’s tracks there. There is no evidence of any language in the Neolithic era yet, some scientists have claimed that there was, however it was backed up by untrustworthy evidence.
However although there was no language, trade routes existed, and Neolithic traders actually did too. People have mapped out Neolithic trade routes before for different items and such. The most common things that were being traded was obsidian and flint which had multiple trade routes for it. There was also evidence of trade in the Neolithic era when people were excavating Jericho, they found obsidian blades that could only be found in Catal Huyuk, which was in Turkey, but Jericho was in Palestine.
Trading had a huge impact even today making up most of the world. Trading was also a safe way to obtain items far away. It could help you meet new and exciting cultures, and create relationships with other settlements. It was also a good way to help you invent new tools, maybe you want some obsidian because you heard it’s sharp for a speartip, maybe you want some special sticks for your hoe because you thought it was strong.
If we didn’t have trade before, we’d probably never even get close to where we are now, considering the benefits of trade, this amount of technology wouldn’t be possible without it. If it wasn’t for trade, think of all the things we wouldn’t have, many recipes, foods, objects, or almost anything you buy in general comes from supplies that traveled around the country, or even the world sometimes.
Trading was a really big hit later on in the world, so if you didn’t have anything to sell, you had to find something. Civilizations like Egypt created a purple dye using smashed snails, which could have been traded, most of the time people had to explore for the items they wanted to export.
Obsidian blades found at Otzi, a Neolithic trader found in the French
Jericho, originated from Catal Hoyuk. Alps.
A good example of a Neolithic trader would be Otzi, he was discovered in the Alps in France by hikers, and helped give more information that most people wouldn’t expect to discover about this man. Through very careful Analysis of the man, they discovered that Otzi was killed from a gash in his shoulder with a flint arrow, creating a deep wound that would make him bleed to his inevitable death.
Otzi was a very well-dressed man, wearing a grass-woven clock, a belt, coat, loincloth, and leggings, all made out of leather. He was also carrying along a flint-bladed knife, 14 arrows in a quiver which none of them were finished, a longbow, berries, and 2 baskets containing certain species of mushrooms and plants. A notable find on his body was a copper axe, which scholars were surprised by, some even claim he had a mind of someone who could build a circuit board. He was obviously very smart, but if he was that smart, why would he be up there in the Alps? It’s too cold to live in, so the only possible logical theory is that he was perhaps on his way to trade, he was carrying various items and was well dressed to meet his partners, but too little information could be told about him. Even if it was for another reason, he certainly wasn’t dumb, the kit he carried along him would be able to self-sustain him for long periods of time. Scholars actually from his copper axe realized that they under-estimated when copper was first created, people were particularly interested in the axe. Another mystery about him is that he had 14 arrows, but none were finished? Even if it was for trade who would trade for unfinished arrows, also, his death became a crime scene, people ran multiple autopsies as said before, and people theorized that the killer was in an angle below him that carefully shot an arrow, which lead to the belief of assassination.

Body in the French Alps. Arrows.
Trading in the Neolithic age also saved settlements, sometimes farms just couldn’t hold up enough people, sometimes people traded with neighboring villages, (various items such as meat, wheat, crops, and even livestock) if under the right circumstances such as a good relationship, and friendly, it can create a stronger relationship between the 2 settlements. If a strong bond is formed, the settlements could often rely on each other for shortages of supplies due to natural hazards or even worse, a battle.
Imagine if trade like this didn’t exist? What would the world be like without trade? It’s a form of communication, if we didn’t have it, communication would be cut off, the world would be a disaster. Trade makes up the economy, helps out countries, and on a smaller scale, would make you have to earn your items yourself. Neolithic traders idea of it should be cherished.
In conclusion, Neolithic traders and the Neolithic Era could be deemed as one of the most important turning points in human history. Nothing could top anything as big as the Neolithic era. Everything from trading between one-another, or permanent settlements, or farming plants and animals, to domestication of animals. Everything about the Era was great.
Trading was a big help to technology, without it, how could a person from the “Neolithic Era” be able to have copper? It also saved various settlements by trading one-another for supplies they need, such as meat, crops, and livestock for food, or tools, and cosmetic items such as seashells or purple dye.
Agriculture was another big advancement in technology, it helped create permanent settlements that lead to social classes, and later on civilizations. It helped save a problem about hunter-gatherer lifestyles, how you always had to move. It also boosted population, and created a surplus of food.
Permanent settlements was the effect of agriculture, because you had to stay and watch your crops and cattle. As said earlier, permanent settlements lead to social classes, and even civilizations later on. This allowed the population to grow and people to do what they want instead of being just a farmer, which lead to art, and other things such as craftsmanship.
Neolithic traders lead a huge impact in the world, changing our very fundamental lifestyle, creating jobs instead of looking for food, living in a permanent area where you don’t have to move around depending on where animals are, and giving opportunities to learn cultures, add a boost to technology growth, and creating bonds with other settlements.
