Were humans the first civilization born on Earth?

I don't think so, there should have been other civilizations before, but they weren't taken seriously, so naturally they couldn't be discovered.

Yes. Current research has proven that no civilization has arisen other than humans. All civilizations are based on human beings.

I think so. Because we haven't come across any remnants of civilization before this. So we should be the first civilization.

The emergence of the Sumerian city-state in 3500 BC Around 3500 BC, in a place called Sumer in the Mesopotamian region, people built cities, invented writing, and the complete history of mankind began. From this time until 2000 BC, it was the first civilization in human history, the Sumerian civilization. During this period, the Sumerians wrote the first chapter of human history with their inventions and creations full of original wisdom, thus making immortal historical contributions to the development of human civilization.

Scholars generally believe that the time when Australopithecus transformed into the first human ancestor was 7 million years ago.

Judging from the human fossils that have been discovered, the evolution of human beings can be roughly divided into the following four stages:

1.Australopithecus stage. Australopithecus australopithecus has been found to have lived between 4.4 million and 1 million years ago.

2.Capable stage. 2,000,000 BC-1,750,000 BC. Homo sapiens fossils have been discovered in Tanzania and Kenya in East Africa since 1960. The first Homo hoans existed 1.9 million years ago.

3.Homo erectus stage. Homo erectus belongs to the homo genus homo erectus (homo erectus), referred to as Homo erectus, commonly known as ape-man.

At that time, there was also a debate about whether it was a man or an ape. It was not until the 20s of the 20th century that the fossils and stone tools of Peking Man were discovered in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, which established the position of Homo erectus in the history of human evolution.

4.Homo sapiens stage. Homo sapiens is generally divided into early Homo sapiens and late Homo sapiens.

Early Homo sapiens lived between 200,000 and more than 100,000 years ago. Late Homo sapiens began about 100,000 years ago. Its anatomy has been basically similar to that of modern humans, so it is also called modern humans in anatomical structure.

The earliest recorded history of civilization is ancient Babylon: between 4000 BC and 2250 BC.

Next up is Ancient Egypt.

3500 BC.

Ancient Greece: between 3000 BC and 1100 BC.

Ancient India: 2000 BC.

Ancient China. In 1600 BC, the Shang Dynasty was established (which is recognized as the history of China in world history).

There were five civilizations in the first civilization of mankind, and these five civilizations were in order from west to east, and the most westernmost side was a Crete island on the Mediterranean Sea, a civilization on the island of Crete, which we generally call it Cretan civilization. And then a little bit south on this side, a little bit to the south, that is, in North Africa, there was an ancient Egyptian civilization in Egypt. And then a little further east, on the west bank, in the valley of the two rivers, an alluvial land between the Euphrates and the Tigris, and in this place there was a civilization of two rivers, or it was generally called the Mesopotamian civilization, or we called it Sumerian in the form of its original state, and we called it Sumer.

Further east, there is one of the oldest civilizations in the Indus Valley, the civilization of the Indus Valley, called the Harappan civilization. Then further east, of course, is our Chinese civilization in the Yellow River Basin, generally we refer to the Xia and Shang dynasties. Further east, there is actually a highly developed civilization in South America, the Mayan civilization, which is now prevalent.
