The
Spread of Agrarian Societies 
There are many events that shaped the development of different
cultures. One was the spread of agrarian societies. When agrarian
societies spread it helped areas where game was scarce to
have a different way to get food. Also people did not always
have to move following where the game went. People could have
more of a variety of foods and people against meat eating
had something else to eat besides wild plants. The farmers
could also develop vegetation that would grow well in their
area so it would be edible. There were also some bad things
about the spread of agrarian societies, however. The farmers
had to cut down whatever was where they wanted their farm
for land.
Religion
Another thing that shaped the development of cultures was
religion. Religion was a major thing to a lot of people. There
were wars fought over it, and still are. If one religion spread
to another, and those leaders didn't want it to take hold
in their country for a number of reasons they would start
to kill everyone in their country who was of that religion.
Technology
Technology was another thing that shaped the development of
various cultures. For instance, the development of the wheel.
This made it so people could travel from one place to another
faster. Another discovery was fire. With fire people could
keep themselves warm, roast food, and keep away some animals
that were scared of it. Later there were other inventions
like the spinning wheel to make jobs easier.
Population
Movements
Population movements also changed societies. With more people
they could have more items produced, get more money from taxes,
and have a larger army. But also there were bad things. If
an area got to crowded then living conditions could go down
for the inhabitants, you'd need more of the items you produced
for your self, then the total human development rate would
most likely go down.
Major
Events
A lot of major events that shaped the development of various
cultures. Population growth, technological innovation, the
spread of religions, and the spread of agrarian societies
are just a few of them.
