The document summarizes the emergence of early civilizations. It notes that the first civilizations developed around four major river valleys in Asia and Africa, including the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia, the Nile River in Egypt, the Indus River in India, and the Yellow River in China. These river valleys provided water for agriculture and transportation to support large populations. As populations grew, governments organized to manage irrigation, defense, and other projects.
