I think that the best spot for a civilization to thrive is the Mediterranean because you don't have to cross a desert to get there. Also it has a much nicer climate and more fertile land for crops than a desert or jungle. Also traders wanting to trade will easily be able to get to the Mediterranean using the sea. These reasons make the Mediterranean the best area for a civilization.

Nathan, I agree with you about the Mediterranean for being the best place to live. Although I wrote that the Savanna would be the best place, I think that the Mediterranean is the better choice. What you said about the sea and traders traveling to you from there, I thought that no one knew where they were? Are we talking now days or back in the time period that we were learning about? Sorry, but I'm confused.

I agree with you Nathan, trading is great due to the ocean around it. Though this trading also makes up the shortage of food there even. Since the land is more fertile as well, like you said Nathan, if prepared correctly the civiliazation won't have a food shortage. The desert being out of the way is also an improvement. SInce the desert isn't in the problem picture, then there wouldn't be a greater problem getting in the Mediterranean. Though I think the agriculture makes it a very successful type of climate zone.

I think that the savanna would be the best spot for a civilization to thrive in. It has lots of animals in it, so hunting would be easy there. While it's not the best place for farming because of the monsoon season and no rain at all, plants could probably adapt. I don't think that I would want to live there because I like my own house, but people in Africa might like to think that this is the best living choice.

I think that the savanna is the best place for civilization to thrive because there is a lot of animals, which means a good food supply. Plus, the land is good for farming when it is fertile. This would probably be a good place for a civilization to thrive.

I agree with you Jason. I think the Savanna would be the best. You can't survive without food so that would be better since you would have animals as a food source.

I think that the Mediterranean would be the best climate zone a civilization could thrive in. The pros about the Mediterranean could suit a civilization when they adapt to it. Though a main reason I think this could be the best, is that it's suitable for agriculture. Since the Mediterranean is suitable for agriculture, a civilization might not have as much of a problem living there. The generally mild and rainy winters might cause some types of problems, but they'd have a good supply of water. Though it has mostly hot summers it might be the best chance of a village to form a city, then a new state, and might even form a well made civilization. Depending on where a civilization starts, and is located in the Mediterranean, they could be close to the Congo River, or Zambezi River, and could have an efficient water supply. Since the technology would still possibly continue to be behind, but they could still thrive a good, long time before becoming something like a ghost town. There would be a decent trade route in the Sahara possibly. Though the most effective part of it, is that if it's done right, you could have a thriving civilization that might not be behind.

I agree with you Matthew. The Mediterranean is probably most suitable for a civilization. Its pretty fertile, and just like you said, they would be located close to a few rivers, which is also a good source of water.

I don't exactly agree with you Mathew. Although the Mediterranean is suitable for agriculture, and has a good water source... the Mediterranean doesn't exactly have that many animals. Also, since the savanna is in W. Africa, the Niger river does flow there to. So the savanna has plenty of animals, and a good water source. So I think it's better if a civilization thrived in the savanna, but the Mediterranean is a pretty decent place to.

I think that the Savanna is easily the best spot for a civilization. I think his because there is enough food and water for everyone. There is plenty of animals everywhere you go and in most savanna they are somewhat close to a jungle or have a woodland area. It also has flat land so you can easily build buildings. What better place could you live.

I believe that living in a savanna would be the best option. Why? Well, there are plenty of animals, so there is good food supply. Also, the savanna has fertile soil, which is ok for farming. So, in my opinion, I think that the savanna is the best biome to live in.

Mediterranean is my 2nd choice because you can farm there but I don't think rain is the best water source. What would they do in the summer? I believe there are other sources of fresh water by another means.

I would pick the Savanna for a civilization. It has a lot of animals which would be a great source of food. It also has some rivers in the biome which which would be a good water source. Water and food are important for civilizations.

I agree Riley. I would also live in the savanna, but not just for your reasons. There would also be local traders who would trade salt for gold, and in Africa, you need salt to live.

The Savana would be best because it is nice fertile land. It won't be to hot or too cold, the land is nice and flat so you can build houses and other buildings. There would also be lots of animals to hunt for food.

The most important climate zone is the savanna because that is were the animals live and where they would get most of their food. It had fertile land, so you could farm. Also they were flat so you could build houses.

I would most likely I would pick the savanna. The savanna has multiple animals to hunt for food, and there is fresh water from the Niger river. Also I would be able to farm because of the savanna's fertile soil, and there would be others who trade salt. I have everything I need to live in the savanna.
