Let me further define " Civilization;" Civilization is the art of living in towns of such size that everyone does not know everyonelse. Not a very inspiring definition perhaps, but a true one. All Civilizations has had this in common. They had food production, towns and citys, religious churchs or temples, a place for the dead and Agriculture. Now I think Civilization began in around 9,000 B.C., but thats just a questimate. Agriculture evidence such as sickle blades and milling stones of Eynan appear more or less simultaneously in the Levant and Irag regions in the Near Eastern Highlands, suggesting an infusion of Agriculture, Archaeoligist unearthed farming settlements. By 7,000 B.C. Agriculture had become the primary subsistence of farming settlements found in assorted sites in the Levant, the Zagros and southwestern Anatolia areas. The crops consisted of einkorn, emmer and barley, and the domesticated animals were goats, sheep and pigs. By 6,000 B.C. this kind of community spread over much of the Near East. By 5,000 B.C. the Tigris-Euphrates and Nile communitys were swelling into large populations with intensive cultural landscape. In my view, Civilization began in Egypt. Cities of 10,000 inhabitants, such as " Merinde" on the western edge of the Nile, were not uncommon. The great dynasties of " Ur" and of Egypt began their mighty impact on history.
Now in cavemen, we had these numbers in population, perhaps more. They had " Plenty of Time" to organize and develop into civilizations, they didnot. They never developed language beyong grunts and stick figure drawing. Almost childlike existence, they never educated themselves. They never created farming and Agriculture. They never formed churchs or built temples.
Now my thesis is that this was so, because they had no conscious to propel them to do so and advance.
And I want to go into that.
Peace.
