Why is it that every civilization, society or tribe in history, no matter how remote and disconnected form each others seems to have similar conepts like Heaven, God, Prayer, marriage etc in one form or the other? Do we all come from a single, long forgotten, grand civilization? All we all brothers after all?

We all started in what is now Africa, so yes we were all at one point the same, once civilization came though we were all long seperated and had drifted apart.

I think we are all suppose to come from Africa, like a million years ago.
Ideas and concepts like god and heaven all come from the human need for answers to things such as why are we here, as well as an explanation of what happens when we die.
I doubt that it was a grand civilization that we came from we probably started out as just one tribe or something then groups migrated from there to other parts of gondwana which then separated to form the continents.
Who knows really?

According to scientific research all humans alive today all share one female ancestor in common - known as the 'mitrochondrial Eve'. We've traced our lineage back to her through our mitochondrial DNA. She lived about 150,000 years ago in Africa. She was not the only woman alive at the time, nor was she the first human woman. However her mitochondrial DNA line is the only one that survived and flourished.
Most likely most of the other mitochondrial DNA lines were killed off, or at least severely reduced, about 70,000 years ago when a super-volcano killed off a majority of the human population.
So yes we all came from the same civilization at one point but then migrated out of Africa in several different migrations to populate the rest of the world.

As a matter of fact, ALL humans do: the first man AND woman EVER on Earth. The origin of the first man and first woman on Earth is somewhere along the Nile River. I was taught about this in my 7th grade social studies class over 10 years ago.

Whoa! This is spooky, I just answered a question about our common ancestry. "lucy" , the homonid who's remains were discovered in Ethiopia, Africa in 1974 by Donald Johanson and Tom Gray. Apparently, her DNA goes back so far (3.18 million years) that we are all related to her.

According to a class I had on Geneology, we are all somehow related to William the Conquerer or Prophet Muhamed.

Theoretically we all descended from a creature that scientist named Lucy.

Yes, we are all descended from Adam and Eve!
