Since we now live in a global civilization with roots everywhere, this question has no clear meaning.
Historians will undoubtedly argue about the key date of origin of global civilization - was it the formation of the internet? radio? the UN and the Security Council? The league of Nations? the WTO and World Bank? the end of the Cold War? the world's first international space program? The establishment of a single global language of commerce, travel, pop culture, science and diplomacy? The establishment of truly worldwide music, dance and other cultural trends? Decolonization and the end of empires in the 1950s/60s? World War 2? The atomic age and the end of the age of war? The creation of peaceful, stable regional unions like the EU and Union of South American Nations (of which the United States and British Commonwealth might be considered the earliest experiments)?
What is inarguable is that the world is in the later stages of assembling itself into a single socioeconomic system. Capitalism is nearly universal, with perhaps two remaining exceptions. In five decades, democracy has swept the world, expanded from 25% of the world to 60+% of the world (with more countries holding free elections nearly every year), including all but two of the G20, and nearly every country claims some form of democracy. The advance of technology has blurred all cultural boundaries to the point at which no society can claim true isolation, with the possible exception of North Korea.
If the Sumerians, Akkadians, and Babylonians were examples of Mesopotamian civilization, and Spanish, Italians and French were examples of European colonial civilization, then the North Americans, Europeans, South Americans, East Asians, South Asians, South Africans, et cetera are examples of modern world civilization.
