Chinese Civilization

Ancient Chinese civilization refers to that period of China’s history which began in the early 2nd millennium BCE, when a literate, city-based culture first emerged, to the end of the Han dynasty, in 220 CE. By this time all the essential foundations of Chinese civilization had been laid down.

NOTE: millennium = 1,000 years.

European Civilization

The Neolithic Revolution - introducing village life, the cultivation of crops and the rearing of animals - arrives in Greece in about 7000 BC from its region of origin in the Middle East. It will take about 3000 years to spread to the Atlantic coast and Britain, pushing back the way of life of the hunter-gatherers at an average rate of slightly more than a mile a year.

This slow rate of progress may partly reflect a reluctance of the hunter-gatherers to settle down to the hard labour of agriculture. But it is due also to the fact that here the labour is indeed hard. Europe, unlike the Middle East, is heavily forested. Clearing the ground for crops, with stone tools, is a massive undertaking.

Very amusing, however 6,000 years ago it's unlikely to have been a cave man with a club in hand given the extent of civilisation 4,000 BCE. It's more likely to have been a skilled artisan with metalworking tools, a farmer with domesticated cattle, or a builder of cities.

Lol-awesome!

Excellent, love it.
