Well as far as I can remember, the first civilization in the world is Mesopotamia and now it is called Iraq which is in the Middle East.

The country that is still going by the same name as when it was founded is: CHINA. It was unified under that name in about 225 B.C.E.\n\nThe oldest area of civilization is Mesopotamia, but of course it's now called Iraq. I think the first paragraph is what you meant.

the oldest religion still going is Hindiuism I believe. \n\nI think hinduism originated in the Indus Valley civilisation about 5000 years, although boviously like all religions it has changed over time, the core beliefs are still there

By whom?  And do you actually mean the United States or do you mean North America?  \n\nMany anthropologists now believe that Asians crossed the Bering Strait thousands of years ago to become the first human settlers of North America.  The Vikings visited the coasts of Labrador, Newfoundland, and possibly the eastern seaboard hundreds of years before Columbus.  Portuguese and Spanish fishermen were fishing off the coast of Newfoundland long before 1492.  By anyone's definition, Columbus was a late-comer.  And in any event when he got to the coast of North America there were already people here, so he didn't actually "discover" it.

Certainly Yes. They had "Indus valley civilization" - which is one of the oldest organized civilization and then the monarchy system took control. after that, britishers invaded india on the name of 'business' (because india was the richest country in the world at that time) and they, with the other invedors, looted and ruled for some centuries. after freedom, they have democracy. so now India is the world's largest democracy and also it is most diversed country in terms of religions. India is great !!

There is some debate on this, but from my Archaeology class, I learned that the first real human (homo sapien) found is approximately 160,000-120,000 years old.  This skeleton was found at Klasies River Mouth, South Africa.  \n\nI hope this helps!

The oldest megaliths in the world are located on the islands of Malta and Gozo. Archeologists have dated the stone structures of Ggantija (the Giant's Tower), Hagar Qim, Tarxien, and Mnajdra to about 5200 BCE. The first settlers arrived on Malta and Gozo around 5000 BCE from Sicily.\n\nRead more about it here:\nhttp://www.hmml.org/centers/malta/history.html

From archaeological evidence it would appear that the first groups of people to stop being hunter-gatherers and set up permanent settlements with agriculture and domestic animals and a structured community was in Sumer. They also started us on the road to mathematics, geometry, poetry, fancy religious rituals, reading, writing and astrology. They seemed to have been pretty fair at homeopathic medicine and they were positively wizard at law. Politicking seems to have been another of their inventions, discoveries, whatever. They're the first we've ever found to record elections of local officials. Imagine that. And you thought the USA invented democracy. Or maybe the Athenian Greeks. Sorry, Sumer beat 'em both by about 3,000 years!\n\nLocation: Modern-day Basra area, in southern Iraq.

THE OLDEST FOSSILS OF MODERN HUMAN  HOMO ERECTUS WERE FOUND IN OLDUVAI GORGE BY THE LEAKEYS .  I BELIEVE IT IS IN SUDAN,  OR ETHIOPIA.

Try reading John Milton's book, Paradise Lost...it will clear up all of your "first people on earth" questions.

Israel is associated with the earliest stage in the history of humanity by the "Galilee Skull", while recent excavations in Jericho have produced the oldest evidence of organized city life.  \nThe first known inhabitants of Israel in historic times were the Canaanites from whom the land long took its name. By c. 3000-2500 BCE the inhabitants seem to have been largely Semitic speaking; they introduced the use of bronze and developed cities. The Bible mentions seven tribes which dominated the country. The long struggle for its control between the South (Egypt) and the North (Assyria), which - in varying political forms - was to dominate the local scene down to the 19th cent. had already begun at this time. The country was now divided into large numbers of warring city-states ruled over by petty "kings." \n\nIt first enters into Jewish history with the immigration of Abraham whose descendants continued to consider it their home. The Tel El Amarna letters throw much light on conditions in Canaan in the 15th cent. BCE and on the conquests of the Semitic "Habiru," perhaps denoting or comprising incursions by the Israelite tribes. The Israelite tribes gave the country (henceforth "the land of Israel") its unity and historic significance. Except during the brief Crusading interlude (1099-1187), the concept of "Palestine" has in fact existed only in relation to Israelite and Jewish history. The Israelites' invasion was a slow and difficult process: they first established themselves in the plains, and only gradually obtained control of the hill-country; the process was completed with the capture by King David of Jerusalem in c. 1000 BCE. Meanwhile, the disunited and sometimes warring Israelite tribes, ruled over by regional Judges, were the prey of other invaders from the north and east. The most dangerous were the Philistines, sea-invaders from the Aegean, near Greece, who obtained firm control of the Maritime Plain in the 12th cent. BCE and thence pushed inland.  \n\nFor a time, it seemed probable that they would subdue the whole country. But the threat forged union on the Israelite tribes at last, largely through the spiritual dominance of the Prophet Samuel and the military genius of King Saul who established a monarchy embracing the entire country. His work was completed by his son-in-law King David who finally crushed the Philistine menace and extended the boundaries of the state in all directions. The latter's son King Solomon raised the kingdom to a great pitch of magnificence by his maritime enterprises, his lavish court, and his ambitious buildings, including the Temple at Jerusalem to serve as a religious center. The heavy taxation which all this necessitated resulted in widespread discontent, and after King Solomon's death, the northern tribes revolted.  \n\nHenceforth, the Land of Israel was divided for many years into two rival and sometimes warring states -- the smaller kingdom of Judah in the south [from which derives the word "Jew"], and the larger, more luxurious and more powerful kingdom of Israel (or Shamron-Samaria) to the north. The latter, weakened by internal dissensions between rival dynasties and recurrent wars with the kingdom of Syria (Damascus), succumbed in 721 to the Assyrians, its inhabitants being to a great extent deported and replaced by new settlers.  \n\nThe kingdom of Judah, more secluded geographically and more staunch spiritually and politically, for the moment escaped but succumbed in 586 before the Babylonians (Iraq). Jerusalem was now destroyed, large numbers of the inhabitants deported, and the monarchy abolished. An attempt to renew organized political life in subordination to Babylonia under Gedaliah, a member of the old royal house, was ended by his assassination (582 BCE).  \n\nOn the overthrow of the Babylonian Empire, the Persian (Iranian) king Cyrus permitted the children of the exiles, who had continued to cherish

Probably as soon as we started the rites for people that died.  Life back then probably seemed rather random and capricious.  There wasn't much that was known about the world, so people clung to things like ancestor worship and sun worship to try to gain some control over the randomness of life.

Basically, they moved where it was colder. That's the simple answer.\n\nThe complex answer is to look at it from a medical standpoint and a separate social one.\n\nMedically, humans are a tropical species. All the earliest human findings are in the Middle East and Africa - this is where the first people were probably from. A person can get away with wearing nothing (or next to it) in (parts of) Africa year round, and not suffer for it medically.\n\nWhen those regions got too competitive because of people naturally overpopulating, certain tribes looked for more land. Humanity spread out all over the world. To live there, people obviously needed a bit more heat retention than their bodies would provide unclothed.\n\nThe social component is a bit more delicate. First off, total nudity in tribal societies (of which there are really only in the rain forests of Africa and the Amazon) is rare. Breasts aren't considered nudity to many people. As far as sexual organs... most societies prefer to keep that covered up for many reasons (unwanted erections, menstrual activity, the elderly, etc, etc). True, Christian values have taken this to a higher, sometimes fanatic level. But the base concerns are universal.
