Who came first, the chicken or the egg? One day, it ocurred to us to find out which of the continents today, are the oldest (in terms of civilization). Granted, in the beginning the continents were one gigantic continent known as Pangea. However, in this case, we are talking about the continents as they exist today.
Asia, the African and Austrailian continent is older than the "ancient world" (somewhere near the Middle East), by 14,000 years. Asia, Africa and the Austrialian continent is of the same age. South America is the next oldest. Followed by the Middle East and Europe (both are of the same age). Lastly, the North American continent.
The civilization from the African continent migrated to Europe and established that geographical region. These people were "light skinned."
The Middle East was established by nomadic tribes.
