Detailed explanation-1: -There are three important features that distinguish the river valley civilizations from earlier civilizations: A) A strong centralized political power. B) A very hierarchical society. C) A great artistic development.
Detailed explanation-2: -The earliest civilizations developed between 4000 and 3000 B.C.E., when the rise of agriculture and trade allowed people to have surplus food and economic stability. Many people no longer had to practice farming, allowing a diverse array of professions and interests to flourish in a relatively confined area.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, humans invariably settled along the flood plains of rivers. Examples of early river valley civilizations include the Indus Valley Civilization, Ancient Egypt (on the Nile), Mesopotamia (along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers), and Chinese civilization along the Yellow River.
