NIGER AFRICAN NEOLITHIC STONE - Figure - Niger

These mills are an iconic invention of all early Neolithic humans first transitioning from hunter / gatherer to a sedentary society. This is an essential centerpiece of any collection of this Neolithic culture as this is what the Neolithic was all about - PREPARING food and other substances from cultivated / domesticated crops instead of relying on gathering naturally-occurring plants for food. It was the first time in human history when people no longer needed to move with their resource, instead staying in one area and building a community. Objects like these indicate a sedentary life since their transportation would have not been practical.
