B. Detect whether there has been an increase or decrease (trend) in human population during the
different revolutions and give the reason why there was such increase or decrease. Summarize your
answers on the table below.

Period Population Trend Reason

There has been an increase During the Neolithic period, the bloom of technologies
in human population for producing food crops from planting and harvesting,
Neolithic Revolution and raising animals, evolved. The development
of agriculture during this time cleared the way for further
1, 500- 5, 00years ample and secured food source among the people,
ago making way for human population growth.

There has been an increase The increase of human population due to industrial
in human population revolution began when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and
Industrial revolution natural gas were utilized as an energy source
giving high work capabilities. The food availability,
natural resources availability, and access to processed
goods even has advanced, and so has the trading and
transport. Human population growth was driven by
this economic growth, which became possible by
the abundance of energy. Because of industrialization,
this revolutionary turned a populace of half a million in to
a billion in under 200 years.

technology.
There has been an increase Until now, we are still experiencing increase in human
in human population population, being in the middle of an environmental
Environmental revolution. During this moment, we try to make efforts to
revolution try and correct damaging and polluting practices aiming
for green technology that would be environmentally
friendly. These initiatives comprise transitioning to
renewable energy technologies, developing better
