Answers
A civilization is a complex culture in which large numbers of human beings share a number of common elements. Historians have identified the basic characteristics of civilizations. Six of the most important characteristics are: cities, government, religion, social structure, writing and art.
Houses: The houses varied in size. Some might have had two storeys. The houses were made of burnt bricks. Most of the houses had a central courtyard, a well, a bathing area, and a kitchen
Great Bath: This was another important structure in Mohenjo-daro. The floor of the bath had five layers. It was so watertight that even today it holds water. There were changing rooms. People probably used it during festivals and religious ceremonies.
streets:The roads and streets intersected at right angles, with covered drains along the road. Houses were built on either side of the roads and streets

1. The control of fire by early humans was a turning point in the technological evolution of human beings. Fire provided a source of warmth, protection from predators, a way to create more advanced hunting tools, and a method for cooking food. These cultural advances allowed human geographic dispersal, cultural innovations, and changes to diet and behavior Additionally, creating fire allowed human activity to continue into the dark and colder hours of the evening.
2. The development of agriculture fundamentally changed human societies. In this lesson, we'll examine a few of the major changes, including some challenges created by the rise of farming.
The Neolithic Revolution
The point is, we expect food to be readily available. We expect our society to produce food through agricultural practices, and we expect there to always be enough to sustain our population. We don't expect that we'll have to move every season to follow herds of wild game. For the vast majority of human history, that's how people lived. They were nomadic, meaning they did not have permanently settled societies. Then, around 12,000 years ago, something started to change. People in various parts of the world discovered that they could control the growth of wild plants, thus ensuring that they had enough food without having to move. We call the rise of farming and the changing patterns in society that came out of this the Neolithic revolution. In the end, the domestication of plants and introduction of farming changed a lot more than just where people got their food.
