Civilizations all started independent of each other, and there were five distinct areas. One was the Fertile Crescent, where we see Katal Huyuk and was the birthplace of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Another was along the Yellow river (or was it Yangtzee?) in China. Third I want to say was Greece and India, fourth the Yucatan peninsula, and fifth was the Andes mountains.
All other civilizations sprung from the seed sof these five places. Though I would like to argue that perhapse the Mississippi basin was another place that we just don't know enough about, but perhaps the Hohokam, Hopewell and Cahokia deserve to be included in a civilization as well.

No early states of civilization what so ever. We are still in the jungle here... What would happen if we ONLY eliminated electricity for good? It would be back to old hard times. We are not civilized yet as though many people like to think they are just because we can build a computer, fly a plane and so on.. We are far from it.

One type of civilization that most people forget about is the basic core of it: the Family. The very first civilization on earth would have been the First Family of Adam and Eve. Consider this: you have a family? How many generations of your family would populate the earth? If Adam and Eve lived for nearly 1000 years and had many children (they did not just have Cain and Abel), and each of those children had many children, and so on, how many different tribes, clans, and families will all be related to the same ancestor? Certainly enough to fill the earth.
After the Flood, many of the families which descended from Noah's sons began to spread out from the landing site to repopulate the earth. From then on people began to forget their origins and legends and myths began to explain away the truths, which are now lost to us. When the language was "confused," the separation from truth was compounded even more.
There was a time on earth when everybody knew everybody. That civilization is no longer with us.
