How did the lives of ancient peoples living in pre-“civilizational” communities differ from those living within “civilization”?

The main difference between the people living int he civilized societies and the people living in the pre-civilized societies is the life-style. The people living in the civilized societies have had settled life-style. This mean that they have been engaged in agriculture, producing surplus of food, and having much more spare time to focus on other things, such as sciences, philosophy, architecture etc. The people living in the pre-civilized societies were nomads. They were constantly moving from one place to another in order to be able to find food sources for themselves, as well as for their livestock, if they had any at all. This left them with only one purpose and objective in their lives, survival.
