Question
The agricultural revolution occurred at different time and in different places around the world. In most regions it happened in river valleys, as it did in the Near East. Focus your attention on the similarity of the locations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Why did farming peoples, rather than hunters, start the world's earliest civilizations?

I've been researching for hours looking for something to help me understand what the answer is asking me to do but I am very confused. Could you PLEASE give me something that explains the question in an easier way for me to understand.

In hunter-gatherer societies, everyone must work constantly to produce enough food for their families. No one had spare time for the luxury of a real civilization.
Farming peoples produced enough food so that some people had time to set up governments, write literature, and develop religions.
