I'm getting answers that it started 6000 years ago, others say it started 5000 years ago, some say it started 8000 ago, some say 12500 ago, I'm severely confused as to what is right. Can someone help me please?
This might be a better question for /r/askscience or /r/AskAnthropology, particularly the latter. It's not impossible that someone here will have an answer for you, but most of the people here are mostly dealing with the recorded past. Pre-writing stuff is not a strength of this sub, though I think there are a few people who can do it.
