Sumer was the southernmost region of ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq and Kuwait) which is generally considered the cradle of civilization. The land between the two rivers was and is fertile and it was this agrarian activity that provided the food and time for civilization to flourish.

How did life in Sumer differ from life in a small farming community of the region?

Sumerian life was different from life in a small farming community because Sumer was a civilization. The five different traits that define a civilization were all present in Sumer that couldn't possibly exist in a diminutive farming community. Sumer would be closer to the lifestyle today than a small farming community would be. Sumer grew from advanced cities, had complex institutions, developed record-keeping, and applied advanced technology to everyday endeavors, unlike the characteristic traits of a farming community, which would be a band of people living together, with primitive technology and no governing or record keeping, and probably on its way to being a city. A person living in Sumer would probably have a specialized job which he would be an expert in; belong to a social class, and trade to acquire the resources he needs. A person living in a farming community would depend on his own crops and animals for resources, have no defined social class, and would have a job, which would most likely be farming.Areeb UsmaniGrade 9

What is true about the development of farming in Sumer?

The development of farming in Sumer, one of the earliest known civilizations, was marked by the transition from nomadic lifestyles to settled agricultural practices around 10,000 years ago. The region's fertile land, aided by the annual flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, enabled the cultivation of staple crops like barley and wheat. This agricultural surplus led to population growth, the rise of cities, and the development of complex social structures. Additionally, innovations such as irrigation techniques and the plow significantly advanced farming efficiency in Sumer.
