Read Guns Germs and Steel. You need good nutrition and the right geography for civilizational development. Also civilizational collapse is a thing, which requires the most rare of all things - good governance - to avoid. The Eurasian exchange of ideals allowed for unprecedented levels of nutrition and preservation of knowledge between collapses. So while in the Americas the decline of the Olmecs, Maya, and Mississippian mound builders set civilization back to square one; Europe could tank multiple civilizational collapses thanks to surviving colonies and empires nearby that could help rebuilt after the collapse.
