I’d say the Earth was fairly well dominated by the time Abrahamic religion started to become mainstream around 300AD.

Axial[1] religion might have something to do with which societies succeeded later, but that isn't the same thing as Abrahamic and is all about a later phenomenon.

This sort of thing really makes me wish we had high-fidelity simulations of human societies we could do experiments with. And then comes the fear that we’re in one.
