On what objects of inanimate nature did the life of an ancient person depend and the life of a modern person depends?

Both in ancient times and in the modern world, a person cannot live without inanimate nature. There are several objects, the absence of which will put an end to human existence.
1. Air. Without this mixture of gases, we would never have been able to survive. Air feeds our cells with oxygen.
2. The sun. The life of ancient people directly depended on this luminary. They could not yet produce fire on their own, so the sun was the only source of light and heat. But even though we have learned to make fire, we still need the sun.
3. Water resources. Water was the essential resource without which the Earth would turn into a lifeless desert.
