Greetings,

According to the consensus of the scholars, how far back can they:

1. Trace literate civilization

2. Trace non-literate but urban civilization

3. Trace humans settling in what would be considered villages and hamlets

4. Trace humans building houses and tents

From my understanding the consensus to

1. is 4,0000 B.C.

2. is between 6,000 to 8,000 B.C.

3. is around 10,000 B.C. to 15,000 B.C.

4. I have no idea

For question #4 I'm going from my memory of taking my kids to the La Brea Tar Pits in L.A.

IIRC, the museum had humans building shelters from timber, animal bones, and animal hydes, as far back as 25,000 BC, maybe even longer.
