Origins of the First Civilization

According to Greek mythology, an immortal being named Prometheus stole fire from the gods and bestowed it upon humanity, the first of many gifts to enable the beginning of civilization.

Early Chinese histories tell of a succession of eight semi-divine leaders who in turn taught hunting, farming, music, working with silk, and all of the practical art2. In similar fashion, the Sumerian god Enki shared the wisdom needed for governing the earliest cities with a group of seven sages. Stories of heroes like these are common around the world. When ancient storytellers looked back, trying to imagine the beginnings of technology, communications systems, and religious customs, the complexity seemed best explained as gifts from a divine intelligence. And they had good reason to wonder about their own origins: writing, as far as we know, arose as a product of civilization. The earliest phases of the first civilizations left no written records. So, where did civilization really come from?

One archaeologist said for sure - not huge ancient buildings are proof of civilization, but old (very old) bones with elements of restoration. Which, in turn, is proof that when someone broke a leg or an arm, that is, he could not take care of himself, which in ancient times should usually lead to death, BUT someone allocated his time, strength in order to save another. With serious fractures, I think now everyone has an idea of ​​the time of fracture treatment and the uselessness of the victim. Plus wild animals, diseases, hunger, thirst. So here is my opinion - civilization was born when one helped the other not to perish. Here is the main proof of the birth of civilization. The desire to help each other was the key to evolution.
