Human Civilizations from Young Dryas to Jesus
Timeline of civilization evolution from 11.650BCE to Jesus. This Epoch, called the Helocene, corresponds with rapid proliferation, growth and impacts of the human species worldwide, including all of its written history, technological revolutions, development of major civilizations, and overall significant transition towards urban living in the present. This Timetable pretends to be as accurate as possible, with all information backed up by sources, be it publicly available online or otherwise. -

From 9.300 to 8.500 BCE water level more or less stable
At 4.000 BCE the water level reach 1 to 2 meters above current levels.

Domestication of livestock, first evidences
Domestication in the Near East was a two-part, two-stage sequence that involved separate processes and histories for cereals and livestock. First, plants were domesticated in lowland regions of the Near East in a process that began as early as 16.000 BCE. By contrast, the caprines and cattle show no signs of human control before 8.000 BCE (in the Zagros and Taurus mountains and perhaps central Asia).

Global Sea Level Rise
Radiocarbon-dated deltaic sequences of Holocene age from different parts of the world began to accumulate within a restricted time range, from about 8500 to 6500 years ago. This means that a global sea level increased gradually for 2.000 years.
