The Neolithic people were the first producer as agriculture was invented but they were certainly not the first animal keeper. The Mesolithic people were first to start the domestication of the animal. (Hence Statement 1 is disputable)
Neolithic people were acquainted with the potter's wheel. In fact, it is widely acknowledged now that the potter's the wheel was invented in 5000 BC. The surplus production gave rise to the need of pottery for storage. (Hence Statement 2 is incorrect)
Mehargarh (of 7000 BC) was the earliest Neolithic site in India. Hence Neolithic age in India was late as compared to the Neolithic age of other parts of the world which started to appear around 12000 BC onwards. (Hence Statement 3 is incorrect)
Ultimately the most appropriate answer here is a) i.e. 1 only.
A correct.
domestication of animals started in neolithic age (as per vision and onlyias test series ).
while in tamil nadu book,it started in mesolithic.
looking at the dichotomy,i thought of posting this que on forum.
forumias community is the best place to get the doubts cleard.
