Kabul 24<\/a>: The Sumerians, a people who settled into the earth around 2000 BCE, were humanity’s earliest teachers of thought. Some historians believe they originated from the Caucasus region, somewhere between the Aral and Caspian Seas; a people who called themselves the “Black-Headed Ones.”<\/p>\n
