The shift towards agriculture and animal husbandry, also known as the Neolithic revolution, allowed for the development of larger, more complex societies and the rise of cities and civilizations. It also led to significant changes in human diet and lifestyle, as people began to rely more heavily on domestic crops and animals for food. But not all of human population made this transition at the same time or in the same way, and some societies continue to rely on hunting and gathering even today. Additionally, it is also worth noting that while the Holocene epoch began around 11,700 years ago, the Neolithic revolution and the transition to agriculture did not happen uniformly around the globe and took place in different time periods and locations.

Is it possible to ever know for certain that there weren't agricultural societies with simple degradable tools and buildings prior to the Neolithic revolution?
