Establish Age Settlement For Free

Between 70,000 and 100,000 years ago, Homo sapiens began migrating from the African continent and populating parts of Europe and Asia. They reached the Australian continent in canoes sometime between 35,000 and 65,000 years ago.

The settlement movement began officially in the United States in 1886, with the establishment of University Settlement, New York. Settlements derived their name from the fact that the resident workers ?settled? in the poor neighborhoods they sought to serve, living there as friends and neighbors.

Sometime about 10,000 years ago, the earliest farmers put down their roots?literally and figuratively. Agriculture opened the door to (theoretically) stable food supplies, and it let hunter-gatherers build permanent dwellings that eventually morphed into complex societies in many parts of the world.

The first humans emerged in Africa around two million years ago, long before the modern humans known as Homo sapiens appeared on the same continent.

To tend their fields, people had to stop wandering and move into permanent villages, where they developed new tools and created pottery. For thousands of years men and women with stone implements had wandered the landscape, cutting off heads of wild grain and taking them home.

About 6,000 years ago, humans first set up camp on this site called Erbil Citadel, or Qalat as it is known locally. That makes Erbil Citadel, located in the center of Erbil, Iraq, the oldest continuously occupied human settlement.
