"Neolithic transition" as a book category encompasses works that explore the profound shift from mobile hunter‑gatherer lifeways to settled, food‑producing societies — the origins and spread of agriculture, animal domestication, pottery and new technologies, and the demographic, social and environmental changes those innovations precipitated. It includes archaeological and scientific syntheses (archaeogenetics, paleoecology), regional case studies (e.g., Fertile Crescent, Neolithic Europe, East Asia, the Americas, Africa), and interpretive histories that trace how sedentism reshaped kinship, labor, inequality, ritual, trade and landscape management. The category also embraces popular science treatments, methodological discussions (excavation, dating, modelling), and historical or speculative fiction that dramatizes daily life and cultural transformation in early farming communities. Central themes are change and contingency — why, how and with what consequences humans adopted food production — making the category useful for readers interested in deep history, human-environment interaction, and the foundations of complex societies.
