Because circles are the easiest. Get a bunch of some kind of braided cordage, weigh/stick it in the center (or have another just hold it. and mark off that distance every direction, keep adding more. It wouldn’t take long at all to have a perfect circle and it’s just intuitive for a human mind. Their brains were at the same biological developmental stage as ours today.
