Water
Air, water, food, shelter, and a reason to live were and still are the basic necessities of life. If any of these five necessities are missing both man and animal will move on.
In earliest times man was responsible for each of these things. As long as he put the outhouse downwind from where the family spent most of their time, the air was pretty good.
In early times whether our ancestors lived in a cave or a teepee they could be found close to good clean water. When the earliest settlers came to this continent in little wooden ships the most important cargo was an adequate supply of drinking water.
