What is the most "ideal" climate for civilization?
Stable food supply is the most important one. By that measure though Asian countries are the best because an acre of rice has more calories for feeding than any other grain. Makes sense if you consider population to be a meter of civil progression.
Poor climate would be best for evolution. It requires more planning to survive winters compared to more mild climates. That planning translates to other areas of civilization building.
Are there winters in Africa?
Winters are milder the closer you get to the equator.
Doesn't that mean you don't have to deal with your crops dying to frost?
Anything other than subtropical Africa, apparently. Even South America is not so unforgiving. Although no civilizations arose in the Amazon. Yet somehow they did in the Andes.
Climate, predators, domesticated animals, food, environment in general determines the ideal place for a first civilization. There's a reason we have named such an ideal region, it is known as the Fertile Crescent.
Egypt was hot as shit
Sub saharans were just more interested in enslaving and raping each other than getting any actual work done.
Meanwhile the Egyptians were inventing math and science
Exactly. It is easier. Therefore you don't have to work as hard or come up with creative solutions.
