What is the absolute earliest a civilization based around Homo Sapiens could come into being, with agriculture and a structure similar in complexity to those in the Fertile Crescent? My thought is have humans "discover" farming right out of the gate, to say, and then have little city states develop into a civilization at the mouth of the Shebelle and Juba rivers, which will then develop Writing and other things on their own.

Bonus points if you include basic cultural descriptions about the civilization you come up with (writing systems and etc.)
