The Sumer is a civilization that was alive during the Neolithic Revolution. They lived in
the region, which is now known today as, the Middle East. This civilization lived around the
Tigris and Euphrates rivers, according to Sumer source one, Sumer has lasted about 1,000 years
from 4,000 BCE- (around) 3,000 BCE.
In Sumer source one it states that, “about a dozen cities rose in the area”, and then states
that “80% of the people of Sumer lived in cities”. This relates to the criteria “large populated
settlements”, because a city is a type of settlement and that most of the population lives in these
cities. These city states have also, stated in Sumer source 3, either slowly began to grow or
rapidly grew into “big, independent city-states”, so these places grew large in size and most
likely population as well.
