Civilization didn't spring up all at once across the world.
Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus River Valley civilization, and the Yangtze civilizations all kind of arose around the same time independent of one another. And that's not counting the growth of Meso-American civilizations, which started completely independent of the others
The first 3 were in the same region and apparently had an extensive trade network of bronze and tin.
Granted I was likely mistakenly using 'civilization' and 'human migration' as synonyms.
'Civilization' as we understand it tends to crop up in fertile regions along rivers or coastlines.
