Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In early agrarian civilizations, the natural environment had a huge impact on culture, from beliefs about the gods and afterlife to how isolationist or outward looking each civilization was. Much of it can be traced back to the features and behaviors of the rivers around which they lived.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans in these time periods began clearing out forests to plant food and domesticating plants and animals to make them dependent on human interaction. Early herders also changed their surroundings through land clearance and selective breeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most ancient civilizations were formed around major rivers, especially when those led to the sea. Living far away from the rivers mostly meant tribes had to be nomadic. Rivers provide civilizations with a supply of fresh and clean water, which they can use for crops, animals, and themselves.
