Where did primitive settlements first start to occur outside of the Middle-East and Turkey?

Upvote:1

Settlements started to pop up after the end of the last glaciation pretty much everywhere there was a good river valley and some kind of useful domesticable crop.

Examples would be the Indus Valley with Tibetan Barley, peas, and sesame seeds, The Yangtze with rice, The Yellow River with millet, The TehuacΓ‘n Valley with maize, and The Altiplano with potatoes. All of these places appear to have domesticated their staple crop around 10,000 years ago, and we start to get archeological finds commensurate with cities in the vicinity of 3000-2000 years ago.
