The Oldest Known Civilizations
Humans have been around for around 350,000 years, but it has only been a short time since they began to group together in what we call civilizations. In all of our history on this planet, humans have only civilized themselves for approximately 10,000 years thanks to the development of agriculture, animal husbandry, and eventually writing. Of the thousands of civilizations that have existed, most have disappeared. Few have remained in the same place they originated such as the Chinese or Egyptians, while most have died out. Many ancient civilizations existed throughout human history, but some lasted longer than you might believe.

Immediately following the evolution of Caucasians civilizations began springing up everywhere along their migration paths.
Prior to their evolution, not a single civilization existed.
Please no racism, these are just the facts.

IT IS CONVENIENT JUST HOW FAR SHE WANTS TO BACK IN HISTORY. It frames her narrative. If we want to be wholly accurate we could blame the MESOPOTAMIANS. Civilization relies on growth. Its pointless to whine about such things. Men will ALWAYS have a difference of opinion of what is right.

..sehr spannend. ABER_ Frage – was beschreibt eine "Zivilisation"? Städtebau, Ackerwirtschaft? was ist mit den zentralasiatischen Steppenvölkern , Glockenbecher- und Schnurkeramik-Kultur etc.?
