How exactly did the development of agriculture change the ancient world?

People could start settlements, retard

This. You could stay in one spot and form communities. You also had more time for other stuff.
People didn't have to worry about having to find food and could focus on more complex tasks which is how professions are created
>you will never fuck farm and drink all day in a communal proto civilization, right before the priest and warrior castes started cucking everyone

It literally marks the beginning of human civilization as we know it. If you're asking for school, and you can't intuit/reason out your own bullshit answers to this question independently there is already no helping you anon.
But if you're just asking out of genuine interest good on ya, I love talking about the ancient world. Indus valley civ is best ancient civ just for all the sweet sweet mystery.

>you will never starve to death from a single crop failure or have no one to protect you when an unsettled tribe comes around and steals your food, kills you, and rapes your wife
the palace economy was invented for a reason, settled peoples need a military elite to protect them from foreign aggression and dangerous animals, and someone to store surplus so they don't get wiped out by a single bad year.

>this map is from approximately 7000 years after the start of agriculture
why did it take so long to reach this point
>>2304215
Today's crops =/= crops from 10,000 years ago. The plow wasn't even invented until 1000 AD, a farmer would be lucky to afford a shitty bronze hoe, everything is being done by hand, there was next to no knowledge on techniques like crop rotation or proper soil care, 95% of the population had to farm to feed everyone in a small village, it was fucking tough.

I wasn't trying to provide a map of the beginning of agriculture, just an interesting period representative of the civilization I mentioned which I happened to have lying around.
Are you asking your question relative to another civ's achievements, and to what achievements exactly are you referring when you say "this point" ?
>>2304209
solid point, the priests/scribes and warriors havve been cucking everyone everyday since the dawn of civilization, but by that very same token they are integral to the way human society functions in the first place.
