A civilization doesn't need to encompass all humanity (in fact, they're often local), but it needs a community on a common territory that produces something different from others and doesn't limit its production by things of great utility.
Hello kryptqnick
I don't agree with your point of view. I think your point of view is a bit narrow. It does not stand on a higher level to talk about this issue, and it is not objective enough and has obvious personal feelings.
First of all, I want to say that human civilization includes material civilization and spiritual civilization, and civilization belongs to the whole world, but it has different origins and is not regional.
A. Would you say that Christianity, which is based on culture and wisdom, has not affected the world? There are 2.4 billion Christians in the world, distributed all over the world
B. Would you say that the ancient Egyptian civilization has no influence on future generations and the world? The ancient Egyptian civilization has become a part of the curriculum for students all over the world.
Don't you say that human civilization is local?
1.Hunting civilization marked by stone tools (primitive civilization).
2.Farming civilization marked by copper and iron.
3.Industrial civilization marked by steam engine.
4.I am very fortunate to live in the Internet age, and it is even more honorable to live in the era of digital civilization represented by Bitcoin. I am ready, are you ready?
We are receiving the wisdom fruits of human civilization all over the world all the time. Of course, the development and formation of civilization takes time. We are just a small individual, and we are not a knowledge base. What we don’t know does not mean that we don’t exist. At the beginning of development, there will be many difficulties, but I will not refuse. I believe you will do the same.
