Sedentism

Sedentism means staying in one place instead of moving around to find food and water. Just like when we go to school, we go to the same place every day instead of going to different places every day. People used to move around a lot to find food and water, but when they learned how to farm and raise animals, they could stay in one place and have a steady supply of food. This meant they could build houses and communities and not have to move around all the time. Sedentism changed the way people lived and led to the development of civilizations.
