Excerpt from The Civilization of India
Early Human Civilisation. - Four gifted races distinguished themselves by their culture and civilisation at a very remote age, over forty centuries ago. The Hamitic race founded an ancient empire in Egypt, and spread their conquests under great dynasties of kings, accounts of whose deeds have come down to us in hieroglyphic inscriptions. The Semetic race conquered Chaldea, united Sumir and Accad, and have similarly left us records of their early civilisation in cuneiform inscriptions and tablets. The Turanian race founded a kingdom in China, and cultivated arts and literature from a remote age. And lastly, the Aryan race flourished in India as agriculturists and gifted bards, and as conquerors of the aboriginal races. The first beginnings of human civilisation belong to these gifted races; and it may be noted that a temperate climate, fertile soil, and inundating rivers determined the earliest seats of civilisation.
The banks of the Nile and the Euphrates, and the banks of the Hoang-ho and the Indus, were the isolated spots which first witnessed the culture of civilised arts and industries, of science and learning.
