true

false

Answer 1

The statement is false. While people who lived in groups that developed their own customs, hunted and gathered, and produced cave art demonstrated important cultural practices, they would not typically be classified as a civilization. Civilizations are generally characterized by more advanced social structures, written language, government, and other markers of complex societal organization, which were often not present in hunter-gatherer societies.
