How did natural conditions affect the activities and lives of the Indians?

The natural conditions of India in ancient times were not much different from those of today. All the same humid and hot climate, except that the jungle is not so vast and dense. The first civilization on the territory of India arose about 3 thousand BC. Basically, ancient Hindus settled along the Indus River. The humid climate allowed them to grow various crops (barley, wheat, etc.) and horticulture. Also, the ancient peoples of India developed cattle breeding, they raised chickens, goats, sheep, etc.
