please come up with socio optionla as well….sorry for encroaching in the space of historians….But there is a common saying in sociology …History is fruitless without sociology and Sociology is rootless without history 🙂

I think your answer needs more depth , though mentioned but the answer needs to focus more on big changes of domestication of not only animals but grains, use new set of tools , new developments in society , now the group could be bigger also more children could have survived , this decline of nomadic way may have given excess time to get involve in art n culture : leisure dance forms, dev f paintings, pottery etc etc
