During the Stone Age, Gathering and Hunting societies and Agricultural societies were somewhat similar in that they both used primitive stone tools to survive in Africa; however, they differ greatly when it comes to gender equality, men dominating women in Agricultural societies and the genders being much more equal in Gathering and Hunting societies. Also, Gathering and Hunting societies were nomadic, whereas Agricultural societies lived in permanent settlements.

The Pastoral and Agricultural Societies throughout Afro-Eurasia during the prehistoric era both lacked leaders, and were equal amongst genders; on the other hand Pastoralists had a stronger military power.

In Afro-Eurasia through the period of prehistory about 12,000 years ago, Gathering and Hunting societies differ from Agricultural Societies in terms of gender equality and the roles of each gender; although these societies were similar in terms of marriage practices and relationships. Also they differ in economic classes.

Throughout Afro-Eurasia during the period of prehistory, Pastoral Societies and Agricultural societies developed similarly in that they both had animistic cultures and believed in regeneration after death, but differed in that Pastoral Societies had migration patterns for the animals while Agricultural Societies differed as they were settled and did not move. Also they differed in that Pastoral Societies had their economy around the domestication of animals while Agricultural Societies had their economy based on farming and adjusted themselves accordingly.

Starting in Africa during the Stone Age, both Paleolithic Societes and Agricultural Societies had the same resources for tools; wood and stone, while also differing in the level of equality, and the Paleolithic people not being settled yet having a strong settlement in the Agricultural Societies.

During the prehistoric era within Pastoral and Agricultural Societies in Afro-Eurasia, they both had no form of a leader, however, Pastoral Societies did not have any agriculture, whereas the Agricultural Scocieties focused strictly on agriculture. They differed in which Pastoral societies had women do more diffucult labor and the men overpowered them in Agricultural societies.

Throughout the time of the Pre-Historical period, pastoral and agriculture societies played major roles in Southern Africa, including other places, had different views on their social structures. They all wanted to survive in their communities; however they used same/different techniques into being able to do so.

We have learned so much from history yet there is still so much to learn about our past and how our ancestors made us who we are, by becoming pastoralists and agriculturalists through the Neolithic and Paleolithic era ; agriculture and pastoralists each had their differences and similarities but they were part of what helped bring us to who and where we are today.

Throughout Afro-Eurasia during the span of prehistory, Pastoral Societies and Agricultural Villages both stayed in one general settlement and did not move or migrate around; however Pastoral Societies had absolutely no agriculture and only domesticated animals and Agricultural Villages had only agriculture and absolutely no domesticated animals. In Pastoral Societies women did most of the labor by milking the animals unlike Agricultural Villages which had men doing most of the labor by farming in the fields.

During the prehistoric age, in parts of Eurasia, gathering and hunting societies as well as agricultural societies changed in its gender roles, kinship, and social classes; however, both societies remained the same in that they maintained a few of their ancestor's cultures. In both societies tribes and empires kept connections with each other through trading, culture, or religious beliefs.

During human life, in Afro-Eurasia the prehistory of hunters and gatherers compared to agricultural societies are similar by the fact that each social class were equal; however, they are different since hunters and gatherers would not make their own food, while agricultural societies would. Another similarity both these societies had was gender role, men would do most of the hunting for the hunting and gathering system and the men would also do most of the work in the farming society.

Agriculture spread all over the world and developed more complex materials, cultures, and societies, ultimately progressing to a civilaztion of today.

During Paleolithic and Neolithic times in Afro-Eurasia, gather and hunter, and agricultural societies were prominent; they both had gender roles, but in agricultural societies there was less roles for women, which caused greater inequality between men and women. Family and kinship were in both societies, but in gather and hunter societies it wasn't based on blood, everybody was family; in agricultural societies it was based on your blood and ancestors.

Though agriculture society (present in Asia, South America, Europe, and The Fertile Crescent) and hunter- gatherer society date back to two different time periods, 10,000 years ago and 2 million years ago respectively, the two are seemingly alike in the fact that they both dealt with obtaining food as well as in the fact that they used similar tools. Where they do set each other apart however is by how agricultural societies relied mainly on domesticating species while hunting-gatherer society focused on hunting the animals.

In ancient Afro-Eurasia, about 25,000 years ago, when agriculture began to spread; agriculturalist and pastoralist were known for the domestication of animals, which served an important role for both societies. However, pastoral communities were unable to grow their food from the ground, resulting in a smaller population and a nomadic lifestyle; arigulturalists could support a large quantity of people, that allowed them to settle permently.

Throughout the prehistoric time in Afro-Eurasia, pastoralists and agricultural societies would stay in an area and wouldn't migrate as much; however, pastoralists would only domesticate animals and not use agriculture and the opposite for agricultural societies. Although as gender roles, males are important in pastoralists societies by doing the domestication, as well for farming in the fields for agricultural societies.

The pastoral and agricultural society's in the pre-historic time of Afro-Eurasia, both had some similarities and also some differences,one of the similarities being that in both of the societies women were treated equally, adding to that, they both used stone tools. A difference that they had was their living style, pastoralists were nomads, and agriculturalists settled in one spot.
