Food supply had the most influence on Mesopotamian society because they grew wealthy from the vegetation they were able to access near the rivers.

This shows that without a stable food supply Mesopotamia would have never existed. If they hadn't found a stable food supply they would have continued with their nomadic ways and rely on hunting and gathering for their food.

Evidence 1

Mesopotamia was located in the fertile crescent. Which allowed them to access a stable food supply. Evidence that supports this is "With the ability to grow their own food, they no longer had to rely on hunting and gathering. This allowed people to settle in one place and establish permanent homes. Over time, this led to the growth of small villages and eventually larger communities."

Evidence 2

Mesopotamia was located near the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. The evidence that supports my claim is "Further away from the rivers, the land was drier, but near the rivers, vegetation thrived, thanks to the moisture and nutrients provided by the floods.”

Without Sumer’s unique location there would have never been an ancient Mesopotamia because they wouldn’t have had access to a stable food supply.

Evidence 3

Having stable food supply was influential on the growth of larger civilizations and allowed people to specialize in certain jobs. Evidence that supports this is " The surplus of food not only supported a larger population but also allowed people to specialize in different jobs. While some people continued to farm, others became builders, craftsmen, merchants, and leaders. This division of labor helped Mesopotamian society become more advanced, and eventually, Sumer became the first major civilization in human history.'

This suggests that stable food supply is important because it was influential on the growth of cities in Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia had a surplus of food which was also influential on the jobs people had. It influenced the jobs by allowing people to specialize in different jobs. So as Mesopotamia grew they had a surplus of food which made them wealthy and one of the first civilizations in human history.

Counter-Claim

However someone might suggest that food supply is the least important. Stable food supply is the least important because without a government you won’t have structure. It would be the least important because without a government there would be no structure therefore you wouldn’t be able to establish the food supply.
