writing first developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia c. 3500-3000 BCE. It is considered the most significant among the many cultural contributions of the Sumerians and the greatest among those of theSumerian city of Uruk which advanced the writing of cuneiform c. 3200 BCE
Human beings have been around nearly 300,000 years. For most of that time, we dont have a written history. People were living their lives as hunter-gatherers and nomads.
Around 5000 BC, things slowly began to change. For the first time, humans started to settle down in one place. They began cultivating their own food and building their own homes. The first cities were formed. People began using metals, such as copper and bronze. Then, around 3000 BC, they invented the writing and began to write. This new form of living was called civilization.
When it comes to where the first civilization formed. It is Mesopotamia which is between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now the nation of Iraq because humans needed water for drinking and for their crops.
