Richard, this article was written by a history Editor, so in theory for a mere Author to remove stuff is rather dubious. In fact the stuff you removed looks pretty weird to me. For that matter so does the rest of it. Why should the prehistory of "Western civilization" be regarded as ending with the invention of writing ''in the Middle East''? Why are the Americas not part of Western civilization? For that matter, can a "civilization" have a prehistory? In what sense? Anything might have a prehistory in the sense of what happened before it started. That might be before, after, or simultaneous with, the invention of writing.
