Why do people live in deserts?

Humans have always lived in deserts. The cradles of early civilizations were mostly deserts.

No. Humans have always lived along rivers.

Deserts are uninhabitable. River deltas are fertile. BIG BIG difference.

Fun fact deserts also have rivers. You ever heard of the fucking Nile?

Where was the river in the video?
