Where would you start a new civilization? and Why?
Let's say you were travelling in a caravan in space to find a new home, you and 50,000 others discover this planet, Earth. And let us assume there are no other civilizations, no other major human settlements, aside from aborignals, native americans, and other European and Asian tribes and even those numbers are rather small.
You have enough food for you and your band of 50,000 humans to last you three months once you have landed. Once you land, you won't have any electricity, plumming, or any of the things we take for granted today. You have some tools, but again very limited.
Where on Earth, would you settle?
Now, keep in mind, natural disasters, weather, natural resources, soil, and fresh water.
And yes, this played off of Battlestar Galactica.

never watched Battlestar Galactica. I know its on the scifi channel, but never got time to watch it.
The perfect place is North America. If you look at it, it has everything the planet features: deserts, wetland, mountains, snow lake, temperate zones, grasslands.........
and in the boundaries of Canada and the US is the best place to live. Its not short of natural resources to live off of until you get the civilization going. Mexico is desert, you can't grow much there.
The alternative is Europe, known for its forests and wildlife.
Source(s): I have a whole map taken from satellite wit hall the clouds removed. Europe is very green, a couple mountain, but mainly forest. That region gets good rainfall and large enough to support million of people. North America has the yellow of Africa, a grassland area in the middle, mountains, forested east, and forested north. its not short of rain, water, and lakes.
