Which of the following provides the best example of a cause for the development of permanent settlements?
the domestication of plants and animals
pottery for food storage for food surplus
the creation of laws, such as the Code of Hammurabi
the development of priests and religious temples
The domestication of plants and animals provides the best example of a cause for the development of permanent settlements. This is because the ability to cultivate crops and raise livestock led to a more reliable and abundant food supply, which in turn allowed people to settle in one place instead of constantly searching for food.
