What human civilizations were there in 10,000 b.c.?

Question:There were none. The great agricultural revolution that led to the rise of human civilization had not yet occurred.

The world population was likely below 5 million humans at that time.

The first civilization (which is to say, the Sumerian) began founding cities based on agriculture in the Fertile Crescent in about 8,000 BCE. (It is possible that the earliest incidence of agriculture, based on the cultivation of primitive forms of millet and rice, occurred in southeast Asia, around 10,000 BCE...but this new food source did not lead to the foundation of any kind of civilization until several thousand years later.)

Before this time, the only population centres in existence were tiny hunter-gatherer settlements that may have supplemented their diet with wild grains.

There was no written language and none of the worker specialization (beyond perhaps hunter/holyman), which is the key aspect of all early civilizations.

In fact, the Würm glaciation-period, the final stage of the last Ice Age, ended around 10,000 BCE. That is to say, the people alive in 10,000 BCE had more in common, in terms of their daily lives, with the humans of 100,000 BCE, than with those of 8,000 BCE.

the first civilisation town was uruk

None like those portrayed in the movie!!!

Civilization was very primative at the time and centred mostly around the Mesopotamia region with some examples in ancient China and India. These civilizations were basically small towns as opposed to cities.

Mostly nomadic hunter gatherer tribes. Australian aboriginal culture, as evidenced by excavations at lake Mungo, go back to 40'000 - 60'000 years.

No one knows, because there are not sufficient artifacts from that era to provide information on whether there were actual civilizations or simply small tribes made up mostly of family members.
