Civilization began in which zone or zones?

Civilizations began in the temperate zone. Climate and weather determines man's ability to build. The ancient Egyptians could not have built the pyramids if they lived in a climate such as the polar zone, which is unsuitable for out door labor. Crops can not grow in unfavorable climates, animals used for meat do not roam in very cold climates. The buffalos found in America, that was used for meat, and their furs for clothing could not have survived in a polar zone. Clime determined the growth of civilization. All of the Biblical first civilisations began in the temperate zone. John Washington-Hammurabi New Orleans, La.
