It boils down to what you mean by 'civilization'. Certainly, African 'civilization' doesn't start with the ancient Nile Valley complexes known as predynastic Egypt and dynastic Egypt. I thought you were a proponent of evolution of culture as 'processes' as opposed to being treated as single events; whatever happened to that? [/QUOTE]There is NOTHING in what I originally wrote that doesn't imply the process of achieving civilization; our current documentations give evidence that this process of evolution attained its zenith in the ancient Nile Valley; the components of this civilization did not exclusively include Ancient Egypt; the process of achieving civilization began with the first human societies, which just happened to exist in Africa...[/QUOTE]Which would be a 'legitimate' response from me. Now that you've reassured me that what you call 'civilization' is the culmination of progressive increase in complexity of human socialization, hence constituting 'processes', and that the Nile Valley is 'a' Holocene outgrowth of pre-Neolithic Saharo-tropical African socialization processes, then we are on the same page.
