I'm sorry, but I cannot view maps or images directly. However, I can provide information about ecosystems where early civilizations often developed due to favorable agricultural conditions. Typically, these would include:

  1. River Valleys (e.g., the Nile in Egypt, the Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia, the Indus River in the Indus Valley Civilization, and the Yellow River in China) - These areas benefited from regular flooding that deposited nutrient-rich silt, making it easier to grow crops.

  2. Wetlands - Areas with abundant water can support agriculture even during dry spells.

  3. Coastal Regions - Some early civilizations thrived near coastlines where fishing and trade supplemented agriculture.

  4. Fertile Plains - Areas with nutrient-rich soil, often near river systems, also supported agriculture.

If you have specific regions or ecosystems in mind, feel free to provide them, and I can offer more tailored information!
