Answer 1

• The Mesopotamians in the Fertile Crescent, who were based on the Tigris/Euphrates rivers

• The Ancient Chinese, who were based on the Yellow River

• The Ancient Indians, who were based on the Indus

Step-by-step explanation:

The first societies emerged around riverbanks were the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Chinese, and the Ancient Indians.

The Neolithic Revolution marks the beginning of the formation of these ancient civilizations (12000 BCE).

The first civilizations were drawn to areas near rivers because they offered a consistent supply of drinkable water and made the soil fertile for raising agriculture.

Additionally, transportation of goods and people was simple, and the inhabitants of these civilizations could hunt and fish the animals that came to drink from the water.
