People of high status eventually used food surplus as a way to pay for labor and villages could grow into city-states ( urban centers that governed themselves) and eventually empires covering vast territories. With surplus food production, many people could work exclusively in political, religious, or military positions; or in artistic and various skilled vocations. Command of food surpluses also enabled rulers to control laborers such as in slavery. All civilizations developed based on such hierarchical divisions of status and vocation. – Para. 9
