The domestication of animals contributed to the development of permanent settlements in several ways:

  1. Reliable Food Source: Domesticated animals provided a consistent food supply (meat, milk, eggs), reducing the need for constant movement in search of food.

  2. Agricultural Support: Animals such as oxen and horses were used for plowing and transportation, facilitating farming and enhancing agricultural productivity.

  3. Companionship and Security: Domesticated animals, like dogs, offered protection from predators and companionship, promoting social stability within settled communities.
