Ah sorry, I probably wasn’t clear enough what I meant (and am not super knowledgable here and probably have a western bias). What I meant was civilization defined like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_of_civilization not that there weren’t any cultures earlier.
I basically just wanted to say that 66000 years is a very long time in human time scales
