Wherever humans were earliest is going to be considered the origin point of civilization. The idea of the Fertile Crescent and those civilizations being the bedrock only works if you can prove humans were establishing themselves there first and not in some other part of the world.

No, the word civilization is used to describe complex urban societies. That's why the cities of the Fertile Crescent are considered the cradle of civilization rather than the birthplace of humanity.
