Professor Lebiski: The most basic human need is food. Before humans discovered that they could grow their own food, all they did was wander in the forests and forage for fruits and meat. With the evolution of grass, humans learned that certain plants, grown near water bodies, can be consumed as food. This provided them the incentive to spend their time cultivating these plants in one location rather than roaming around, hunting for food. This geographical stability must have gradually helped the evolution of agriculture and, with it, of civilization.
Professor Gomez: The core aspects of this evolution of civilization were climate and the availability of water for plants. It is, therefore, no surprise that all the early civilizations were near large rivers and in tropical areas.
