Where did ancient Chinese civilization began?

Believe in southwestern China. Passing along the ways of those nomadic peoples who were searching for food and other things they began the Chinese race. This is interesting since there were many other regions of the world where life began as well. Of course have always wondered about this. I do live here an have visited several historical sights where life began and the country as well. Early man did not always begin in what we learned in church nor were adam and eve the first.
