Are there any areas that were suitatable for a civilization to start but did not? I am talking of the time when the first civilizations arose.

I think alot had to do with environmental suitability (consistency) at or just above 23 degrees north. Any "bad" serious series of events made other places "fail to launch" to any great success.
I'm OP, check this out (pic).
Any thoughts on it?

I think it's not an exhaustive list (farming all over Europe would be various hues of orange and the Indus River Valley isn't lit up, or the Nile) and farming alone, although it's a major contributing factor, doesn't "make" civilization. It's also off topic when the parameter was "the time when the first civilizations arose."

Oops yeah you are right.

Uruguay, Northern Argentina. Basically if you had great farming land, and you didn't farm on a large scale (which inevitably leads to civilization, centralization), you fucked up.
