Humans first appeared in Africa and slowly migrated from there.

Answer 10

It depends upon how you define civilization.  The first humans appeared in Africa.  If you're talking about hunting/gathering tribes, that's your answer because all other humans descended from them and went on to populate other areas, including Mesopotamia.

If you're talking about specific milestones of development, that's trickier. We had drawing on cave walls and tools long before any humans set foot in Mesopotamia. But most landmarks of modern civilization such as agriculture and pottery first developed in the Fertile Crescent.

Answer 11

In current day Iraq, Mesopotamia, the Sumerians were the first known civilization. Sumeria was several hundreds of years older than Egypt. However, there may have been several unknown civilizations in Sundaland and off the coast of current day India before Sumeria. These unknown civilizations were inundated when the glaciers melted.
