Does anyone know the site of the oldest human civilization on the earth?

Answer 1

The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers begin in eastern Turkey, flow in a southeast direction, converge in southeast Iraq, and empty in the Persian Gulf. In ancient times, the land between the twin rivers was called Mesopotamia which was the site of the world's first civilization.
Mesopotamia means "the land between the rivers" or "the land between the two rivers."

Answer 2

It depends on how you define civilization.
Egypt, the Tigris/Euphrates urban centers (Nineveh, Ur), the Harappa (northern India), and China would all be pretty good bets for large groups of people living together in urban conditions with some sort of (probably religious) government, enjoying the fruits of agriculture and animal husbandry. The invention of agriculture was probably the key to the kind of organization necessary to begin the formation of a civilization. The surpluses from one year's crops could be stored and/or divided among a professional army and artisans of various types, thus encouraging specialization and development of the arts. Hunter/gatherers were most likely jacks(and jills)-of-all-trades and specialized very little.

Answer 3

There isn't an exact time frame, or "a" most early site of civilization, but rather several within Asia. Quoting: "The earliest known civilizations (as defined in the traditional sense) arose in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern-day Iraq, Persia in modern-day Iran, the Nile valley of Egypt, the Indus Valley region of modern-day Pakistan and North India, and the parallel development of Chinese civilizations in the Huang He (Yellow River) and Yangtze River valleys of China, while smaller civilizations arose in Elam in modern-day Iran, and on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea, as well as the Olmec civilization in present-day Mexico. The inhabitants of these areas built cities, created writing systems, learned to make pottery and use metals, domesticated animals, and created complex social structures with class systems."

Answer 4

Through the use the best evidence available to scientists, we have been able to trace humans back as far as 4.4 million years ago in Africa. The oldest human skeleton discovered by scientists, commonly known as Lucy (after the popular song at the time of her discovery, 1974, "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" by the Beatles) is 3.2 million years old. She was discovered in Hadar by scientists Donald C. Johanson, and Tom Gray.

Answer 5

The term, "Site" is the modifier here...would have to go with Egypt and middle East...digs there date back to well before 5000BC. Although man arose in Africa, there is no evidence remaining of their life style, no "sites" to study. And in fact, only one (that I know of) ancient skeleton (parts) have dated back millions of years. Mankind spread himself around relatively quickly, for China has home Erectus as well as most of Europe. Homo Nedandertalenis was wide spread, and absorbed later by homo sapiens. OF course, all this is theory, but there is a lot of evidence that backs it up. Good luck
