i think those 1st level needs : food water shelter sort of define "civilization."

here they are , from wikipedia ...

Maslow's hierarchy of needs, proposed by Abraham Maslow, is a psychological framework that categorizes human motivation into five levels of needs:

Physiological Needs: Basic requirements for human survival, such as food, water, and shelter.

Safety Needs: The need for security and protection from physical and emotional harm.

Love and Belongingness Needs: The desire for interpersonal relationships, affection, and community.

Esteem Needs: The need for self-esteem, recognition, and respect from others.

Self-Actualization Needs: The pursuit of personal growth, self-fulfillment, and realizing one's potential.
This hierarchy suggests that individuals must satisfy lower-level needs before they can address higher-level needs.
