This is supported by archaeological findings of early civilizations such as the Clovis culture in North America and the ancient indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica and South America.
Mesoamerica had abundant fertile land, diverse landscapes, and a temperate climate that supported agriculture. The region also had access to important resources such as obsidian, jade, and cocoa. Additionally, the presence of natural barriers like mountains and dense jungles provided protection and isolation for early civilizations to flourish.
East Africa's early trading civilizations developed on or near a coastline because access to the sea allowed for easier transportation of goods, facilitated trade with distant regions, and enabled cultural exchange with other maritime civilizations. Coastal areas also provided resources such as fish and other marine products that supported the growth of these early civilizations.
Early civilizations also learned to use copper, iron, gold, and silver. Copper was likely the first metal used, followed by bronze, then iron. Gold and silver were used mainly for decorative and ceremonial purposes.
Early natural magnets were known as lodestones. These rocks were discovered by ancient civilizations and were the first natural magnets used for navigation and other purposes.
