I'm going to assume you are in ENG 115 and this question relates to creation mythology. If so, I think it would be wise if you read both myths and take notes and do your own work. Ask your teacher for help if you are stuck. If I am wrong and you are not in that course, then you might want to examine how each civilization evolved and how each culture perceived their surroundings. Both cultures developed a creation myth that involves one god creating life on earth.

sumerian government was about love and compasiion and having lots of babies

Fist of all, Sumer is where writing was born. Also, because Of the Ziggurats it has, and how the people grew as humans, ( for example the development of writing ) also, because of the famous architecture, arts, and weapons that the early sumerians created for survival. Another reason is because of how intelligent the Sumerians were and the development of not only writing, but also the development of crafts making. For example, jugs and jewelry made from all typed or natural resources (glass, sand, rocks, etc.) Another reason is something that all of us love to do. Listen to music, and dance. The Sumerians did enjoy this, and even us in the present day have carried on the old ancient civilization's traditions. Let's not forget about tradition! Sumerian children were taught songs in school ( also as of today in some schools ). Sumerians sung songs and hymns in their place of worship. (For example, church). As you can see, even the early humans have a huge impact on present day life.

To keep track of trade

Agriculture was the main economic activity of Egyptian Harappan and Sumerian civilizations.

The invention of the wheel was important because they needed to transport things from one place to another. Also the invention of the sailboat was important because instead of using man power to get across from lake to lake or sea to sea they could use wind power and travel to different lands.

I have no idea I wanted to know this in the first place! -...-

The Sumerians were the first to start using the alloy bronze,

The contributions of the Sumerians are creating the first large cities with dense urban populations, building ziggurats or temples, formulating laws, creating a lunar calendar, algebraic expressions and advanced math, use of wheels and engineering skills, clay tokens used as money, and rounded roofs. Their literature contained the stories of the Flood, the Garden of Eden, and the hero Gilgamesh who battled evil, and was a model for future epic heroes.

The Sumerians used the reed stylus to write. Unlike nowadays we use pen or pencils.

Well, we basically still use archs today for tall buildings! Actually, I am half finding out that to! So archs are used for tall buildings and stuff, and a wheel is used for cars! When the wheel first came out it was used for carrying heavy things! When a wheel first came out it looked like donuts (kinda like it does today), and an arch look a little like a rainbow, a brown muddy rainbow! I hope this helped you a little!

they dug irrigation ditches from the river to their fields so they could bring water to their crops.

the sumerians used their spears to hunt animals and to cut down trees and other things.

It was an organized monarcy.

Yes, the Natufian peoples were the first to move into the mesopotamian region to settle. However, Natufians were not a united people but rather a collection of city-states in a common region. The Sumerians of southern mesopotamia were the first settled people to occupy many city-states with a common culture linking them all together.

The Sumerians believed that the world was created out of an an ancient sea from whence the universe, gods, and people were created. They believed that the universe was ruled by these gods, who were anthropomorphic (they had human features and personalities) and who represented various natural phenomenon. Each Sumerian city-state had its own patron deity to whom the citizens paid homage. Temples, known as ziggurats, were often erected in the cities to honor and house each city's god. The city of Ur, for example, constructed a ziggurat for Nanna, the god of the moon. The key gods of the Sumerians were Enki (god of water), Ki (god of earth), Enlil (god of air), and An (god of heaven). These main gods were believed to have created the rules of Sumerian society to which all people were expected to adhere. Sumerians also believed that the reason for their existence was to delight the gods. The observance of certain rituals and animal sacrifices were considered necessary in order to satisfy these often capricious deities. Sources: Tom B.

They were Nomads. I think they are people in ancient Sumer (modern day southern Iraq) who herd animals. It could also refer to people who are wandering in Sumer who play the card game called Animal Herders.

Animal Herders is a card game for kids that is similar to Pokemon but much more simple. The cards focus on a picture of either a clay animal or a clay food. Two players build a herd and then battle one herd against another. The more powerful herd wins while skill is used in building the herd strategically and maintaining the herd through the use of food. The game is not yet released but has an expected release date of August or September of 2009. See http://www.animalherders.com/ for more information.

The people who lived there then (4000 to 1000 BC) are still there. It's only been a few thousand years, so it's reasonable to assume that they still look the same (aside from the clothes).
