Your task
You are to write an essay that answers the following question:
Was the development of farming and the development of complex societies a step forward or backward for humans (Homo sapiens)?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question. You can argue that the move away from foraging was mostly a step forward, mostly a step backward, or somewhat of a mix (one step forward, one step back). Whatever case you make, support it with evidence (see below).
Your evidence
For this essay, you must present and explain evidence from a minimum of five sources. One source will be the textbook. The remaining four sources must be chosen from the videos and articles included in the Sources for Module 1 Essay section.
