Early humans transitioned to more permanent settlements around 8,000-10,000 years ago after developing agriculture and animal domestication, allowing for food surpluses. Cities emerged during the 4th millennium BC once writing, more complex social organization, and technological advances like the plow and pottery wheel were achieved.
