The "Earliest known" "Civilizations" all in fact exclusively originated in modern day Turkey, the Levant and Mesopotamia. If you're going to speak on archeology you should at least get your facts straight. There are certainly myriad ancient cultures and civilizations found around the world, including in the places you listed, but there is currently no archeological evidence to support the notion that there were any older significant "Civilizations" in places other than the Tas Tepeler region in Turkey (14KYA-12KYA), Jericho (11KYA-10KYA) or Eridu in Mesopotamia (7500KYA). There may be older civilizations found elsewhere, but as of yet archeology has yet to find any evidence of them, so it's disingenuous at best to claim any evidence of any civilizations found elsewhere indicates they are the "Earliest known."
