Answer 1

Hello!

Early hunter-gatherer clans were not considered civilizations because they did not build towns or cities.

Early hunter-gatherers lived in caves or small huts. These gatherers did work together, however there was no government, commerce, or social hierarchy, which are some of the primary factors of a civilization.
