During the 7th millennium BC, agriculture spreads from Anatolia to the Balkans. World population was essentially stable at around 5 million people, living mostly scattered around the globe in small hunter-gatherer bands. In the agricultural communities of the Middle East, the cow was domesticated and use of pottery became common, spreading to Europe and South Asia, and the first metal (gold and copper) ornaments were made. ==Cultures== *c. 7000 BC: Beginning of the Peiligang culture in China *c. 7000 BC: Agriculture and neolithic settlement at Mehrgarh, in current-day Baluchistan, Pakistan *c. 7000 BC: Agriculture among the Papuan peoples of New Guinea〔Encyclopædia Britannica, "Melanesian cultures"〕 *c. 7000 BC–600 BC: Elam *c. 7000 BC: Elam becomes farming region. *c. 7000 BC–6000 BC: Figure from Ain Ghazal, Jordan, was made.
