The development of farming led to the growth of towns. In time, towns developed into civilizations, the first of which grew up in river valleys in Asia and Africa. Such valleys provided water and fertile land for farming. These were perfect places for people to grow crops.
With the development of farming, people no longer had to travel in search of food. Instead, they could settle down in one place. Eventually, people built the first towns and cities and invented government, writing, and the wheel. They also created huge buildings and temples and produced incredible works of arts.
In the region of the Tigris and Euphrates river valley, the Sumerians developed the world's first civilization.
In Africa, two great civilizations developed in the fertile valley of the Nile River. Ancient Egypt rose in northern Africa. South of Egypt, the kingdom of Kush developed in a region called Nubia.
Indian civilization developed and thrived in the Indus river valley.
Chinese civilization began in the Huang He and Chang Jiang river valleys.
