What are some ways that civilizations differ from hunter-gatherer societies?

I need a few of the major differences between the ancient river valley civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus, and Yellow River civilizations) and the even older hunter-gatherer societies?

Sanitation/Sewerage Plan for a Large Population vs Foul an area, and then move on.
Permanent Housing vs Use a few Banana Leaves to get out of the rain, or a Lean-To, for a few nights.
Grain-Storage Silos vs Carry a bag of Herbs and perhaps some dried Meat.
Irrigation/Farming Equipment vs Tools to dig up Roots & Tubers/Spears to kill wild animals.
Domesticated Livestock vs Hunting Dogs.
Organized Government/Military vs Alpha Male & Female get 1st dibs on everything.
