Abstract
From the point of view of historical processes, this analysis sheds light
on the issue of environmental conditions in the last millennium and
on the validity of the “historical truth” about the emergence of the
first European civilization based on the grounds of actual technical
and physical aspects. The problem was approached starting with the
pre-conditions necessary for the emergence of civilization, thus po-
tential areas with long-term stable conditions were identified. Then
all the sites were analyzed from the standpoint of physical, linguistic
and cultural continuity. The analysis was further strengthened by
comprising numerous records from historians from the Classical Pe-
riod, the Middle Ages and later centuries. The conclusion formed is
that the most favorable conditions in the last 40 million years were in
the area of the Hem peninsula, part of Asia Minor, and in the general
area of the northern Black Sea: places of origin of the first European
civilization. Similarly, European ancestors had characteristics that are
visible today mostly in Serbs, Russians and other Slavs. New genetic
analysis has fully confirmed this scenario and the paths of European
ancestors and their other migrations.
