The question is more when. Did it come with the first migrations out of Africa? Or did it come in later migrations? Or was the concept independently developed n Europe? Or somewhere else (Eurasian steppes would be a good bet) and brought from there to Europe instead of from Africa?

Reply to comment by Obiwan_Salami in When this bridge in Fort Benton, Montana, USA was built 1888 it was required to have a swing span to allow steamboats to navigate. It was considered the furthest navigable point on Earth, more than 2,700 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. by triviafrenzy

Those rivers in Canada are all closer to the sea (Atlantic, Pacific, Hudson Bay or the Beaufort Sea) than Ft Benton is to where it reaches the sea (the Gulf).
