Thanks for this information. Saw a show on Nat.Geo (I think) and it showed a map of fault lines and civilizations. The Middle East (Iraq/Iran) were very interesting – our ancestors settled on rivers and they turned out to be on fault lines.

Our ancestors lived on shaky ground
University of York News, 3 March 2011
Our earliest ancestors preferred to settle in locations that have
something in common with cities such as San Francisco, Naples and
Istanbul – they are often on active tectonic faults in areas that have
an earthquake risk or volcanoes, or both. An international team of
scientists has established a link between the shape of the landscape and
the habitats preferred by our earliest ancestors. The research, by
scientists at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, the
University of York and the Institut de Physique du Globe Paris (IPGP),
is published in the March 2011 issue of the Journal of Human Evolution.
