The switch from hunter/gatherer to and agrarian society was so important because for the first time in the history of humanity, people no longer had to be relatively nomadic. they had a more stable food supply that required less people to provide sustainence for their entire populations. by not constantly picking up all of their belongings and moving so often, more people had more time to think and create the first primitive technologies (wheels, wedges, chain&pulleys, etc) which later advanced man's foray into: architecture, commerce, and ultimately the industrial revolution.
