Would we consider a tribe to be a civilization? I don't think I would.
A civilization, as a noun, is a similar but separate thing to civilization, a modification of the verb civilize. The former is a state of being, where the latter is the path to it. You can see civilization before you see a civilization. Kind of a chicken and egg situation.
Ah interesting.
Luckily, nobody asked you.
What's with the hostility?
They're conflating civilisation and "civilised" (with a moral component).
