Upper paleolithic/ epipalaelithic revolution (40 000 10 000 b. c. ) Changes in tools, art, use of symbols, possibly religious. Incipient means that something is just beginning, starting to exist, and so on. Agriculture means that we are basically farming so we can eat. Therefore, incipient agriculture is when agriculture just started, way back in history.
