Both, in a sense.

Like I've said before, that area of the world, plus that period of history has never really interested me, so if I'm wrong, please tell me.

I know the boundaries of Europe are contested, but those are mine.

I count Israel and Turkey as Europe due to the strong influence of European culture.

I can see that, though I'm a little drawn on it.

Well, the first civilization in the Caucasus definitely started in the Caucasus. :p

But for the other one, it's hard to say, since we'd have to decide at what point we could actually consider people "white." However, considering that we consider Arabs, Persians, etc. white, the first would probably be the Sumerians, in the southern portion of modern-day Iraq.

How about those from the Indus Valley and Indo-Aryans, some are near "white".

That first part made me laugh. :p

But yeah, that's why I'm confused on the matter. I know that we came from Africa and spent a long while in Arabia, so I'm not really sure where we say that actual white people appeared and when.

Agriculture in Mesopotamia started before the Indus Valley civilization. However, it's unknown what they looked like, and I'm pretty sure that they probably spoke a Dravidian language and looked like the darker-skinned Indians. The Aryans didn't come in until much later.
