Characteristics of a Civilization

 

With the Neolithic Revolution civilizations now began popping up in
unsurprising locations - river valleys. These river valleys provided people
with fertile soil due to their floods. These floods, combined with the new-
found knowledge of farming and animal domestication, allowed for a stable
food supply and so the Neolithic people settled down around these rivers.
As these people lived together in one spot civilizations arose, which often
shared theses common characteristics:
Advanced technical skills
- Sometime around 3000 BC, the Neolithic peoples around these river
valleys learned how to make and use bronze tools and weapons. This in part
allowed these peoples to construct permanent shelters and homes since
they no longer were nomads, following their food source and looking for
caves as shelter.
Neolithic Revolution (~12,000 BC)

 

The Neolithic (New Stone) Revolution occurred about 10,000 years ago and
dramatically changed the way that early humans lived. Two important
factors come out of the Neolithic Revolution:
These two changes allowed people to stay in one spot instead of wandering
from place to place following their main food source (animals). Somehow
Neolithic people learned how to plant and raise crops and keep and raise
livestock for food. Now people were put in the situation of living together
permanently and as a result much cooperation was needed for survival and
civilizations started to arise.
