3. Population Growth

Population growth was the most significant development of the Classical Period. True or False?

Population growth was the most significant development of the Classical Period because of many reasons. For instance, there became major technology because people had more time on their hands when they started using domestic animals to help them work. Those animals maede farms more productive. Therefore they were able to invent iron tools, and iron helped them work as well. They improved species of crops produced more food per acre, and better crops and better quality. With population growth, there became transition of hunting and gathering. Even though more organization was needed, colective learning had increased. With such a big community, there became bigger cities and much more communities. The people who lived in cities built the communities, they lived in denser populations. The population rose about 120 to about 25 million. With the population growth, there became expanding networks. People made routes or roads to get to other parts of the nation. They even made sea routes. A wide variety of goods flowed along theses routes. So I think the answer to the question would be true.
