How do natural features like lakes and river help bring people together or keep them apart? Lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water play a huge role i the joining of communities. The people who lived along the Nile were brought together because their crops depended on the flooding and in order to not starve they needed to be able to predict when the Nile would flood. By coming together they learned the patterns of the Nile and starvation was no longer a huge problem. Although, bodies of water can also keep people apart. In a less advanced society, people wouldn't be able to cross bodies of water, and therefor that would keep them from traveling, trading, and over all they would not be in contact with humans outside there village or town. Rivers, lakes, oceans, and other natural features play a huge part in human contact.
