A high rocky hill on or near which early people built cities is called a citadel or acropolis. These fortified elevated sites provided strategic advantages, such as defensive positions and improved visibility, making them ideal for early settlements and city-building. Examples include the Acropolis of Athens in Greece and the Citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru.
The Oasis Theory suggests that agriculture developed in areas where water and fertile land were scarce, leading early humans to cultivate plants near oases. The Social Complexity Theory argues that agriculture arose as a means to support growing populations and complex societies, as it allowed for a more reliable and efficient food supply. The Climate Change Theory suggests that shifts in climate and environmental conditions forced hunter-gatherer societies to settle in one place and adopt farming practices to ensure food security.
The majority of Neolithic town Sumerian city-states and early empires are located near the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia. These rivers provided a consistent water source for agriculture and transportation, leading to the development of advanced civilizations in the region.
Lucy was discovered in 1974 near the village Hadar in the Awash Valley of the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson but she is really put together from several parts. As far as being the first ancestor, there have been others like Ardi, short for Ardipithecus ramidus, who may be older but again it depends on what you mean by human. When did the real humans begin is a question that hasn't been answered just yet.
Scientists believe agriculture began around 10,000 years ago during the Neolithic Revolution, when humans transitioned from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities. This transition is characterized by the domestication of plants and animals, leading to the development of farming practices.
Some early humans settled near estuaries because these areas provided access to both freshwater and saltwater resources, such as fish and shellfish, which were important food sources. Additionally, estuaries offered fertile land for agriculture and transportation routes for trade and travel.
