I'm sure there are many reasons why sedentarism and agriculture took so long to come about, but they elude me so. For example, assuming an earlier desertification of Upper Egypt around 20-15k BCE, why wouldn't we see a Neolithic level of civilization by ~12k BCE?
I'm curious as to why many (I've encountered) dismiss the idea out of hand, and if there are any Mesolithic TLs.
