How Humans have Changed their environment?

Throughout time humans have been changing their environments to fit their needs and have been doing so even more in recent years. When Humans domesticated animals they protected them from their natural predators and allowed them to flourish in population. Early hunter gatherers began to farm and make plants grow near them to provide them with food. Humans have done lots of bad things to the environment in recent years especially. When humans began to use coal and oil for fuel then it polluted the environment. Humans began to feed grass eating animals corn because we have so much of it. Throughout time humans have made everything they need to their liking and continue to do so today.

Why is Catal Hoyuk an important archaeological find?

Catal Hoyuk is one of the first neolithic towns found in modern day Turkey. Catal Hoyuk is also one of the biggest, if not the biggest, Neolithic towns found in the world. Catal Hoyuk was founded by a group of hunter-gatherers in what was once the most fertile and rich area in terms of food. Catal Hoyuk had a population of roughly 1000 people. Even though there was such a large population (for the time) there were no roads but instead people walked on each other's houses to get to theirs, and ladders would lead to the roofs of higher elevated houses. Catl Hoyuk is an important archeological find because it shows how early hunter-gatherers settled down in a permanent settlement and became hunter-farmers. Catal Hotuk also showed how specialization      and division of labor began to develop shown through pieces of pottery, tools, etc. Catal Hoyuk is a very important archeological find and will probably give a lot more information when the whole city is discovered.
