I still don't understand why Asia and Europe, with its vast amount of resources, water, opportunites didn't develop any civilization, trade of some kind while people living in the Middle East which is mostly Desert (I know about the Fertile Crescent, but thats only a small area of land) happened to develop trading, laws, justice, moral values, culture that turned them into a civilization in an extremely hostile part of the Earth. Im speaking of the ancient people such as the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babyloians, and others. So is it safe to say that the civilizations and different cultures all over the world, first began in this area?
 
I think it's because when we evolved into early humans, the forests were receding, and we evolved with dark skin to protect us from the sun. It's just how it happened, no reason.
 
According to scientists, the oldest traces of human civilization dating back approximately 5,000 years in Mesopotamia. At the same time there was civilization of Asshur and Babylon. Nimrod was the first king of Babylon and he invades Asshur who later became Assyria. Babel is now rak.

The area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers is referred to as the Cradle.of Civilization because that is where the first agriculture was started in that fertile and much studied land.
