A '''civilization''' needs a form of government (a set of laws), a form of education, skilled workers, an agricultural surplus to feed the skilled workers, law enforcement, economy, and a currency or trading system.
Civilization has also been defined by [[Clyde Kluckhohn]] as having "three essential criteria for civilization: towns containing more than 5000 people, writing, and monumental ceremonial centers".<ref>http://www.historyguide.org/ancient/lecture1b.html</ref>
In order to attain these prerequisites a group of humans must have climbed up the ladder of [[Technological Development]] necessary to attain them.
Three major attributes of every civilization include:
*'''Urbanism''' - There must be cities to have civilization.
*'''Politics''' - There must be something to bring the people together.
*'''Religion''' - There must be a code of conduct or standard of [[morality]] to maintain civilization.
*People with common language, customs, government, and economy, earliest in [[Mesopotamia]] 3000 BC.
