Again, civilization is, plain and simple, living in cities.
Nothing at all to do with how residents supported themselves.
Just that one criterion — living in cities.
Not literacy, not how they fed themselves.
How do cities appear? Big bang? Alakazam?
I’d say cities are a feature of civilization. Not synonymous with it.
You refuse to acknowledge the irony of my argument and cling to a dogmatic position. I guess I will go my way in peace.
