was population growth the most significant development of the classical period. true or false?

false. Although population growth seemed important, it was only the effect of all of the other things happening in the classical period. Humans decided to farm in large quantities. on farm would produce alot of one thing. They would then trade it for what they needed. They had horses and other animals to do the hard parts of their work, and had metal tools to help them. This system allowed for a large population growth spurt. if they were nomads following animals, than this large population would not have been possible. Because they were never on the move, their houses were perminent and very livable. their were many great trade routes such as the silk road, mediteranean sea routes, and the Greek roads. These trade routes alowed for the people to get luxuries that they wanted. These things all helped the population grow, but the growth itself wasn't important. The only way that it affected anyone was bad. because they were living very close to animals and very close to each other, diseases spread more quickly. Large cities led to deforestation and pollution. If the farmers get lazy, food could run out. The population growth was hardly impoertant, and if it was, it was only important in bad ways.
