Early civilizations developed similar social structures like governments, writing systems, cities, and patriarchal families. They had three main types of contact - local and long-distance trade, migration and invasion, and direct interaction through trade, diplomacy, or military affairs. While contact between civilizations was frequent and led to the spread of technologies and crops, it did not result in major changes to religion, politics, or science.
