The lack of domestic animals meant a lesser chance to adapt to diseases.

How is that not civilization?

Every time you faggots ask a question that's tantamount to 'why was x non-white group a bunch of uncivilized savages' and someone gives you an example of a non-white civilization you shriek "YES BUT THAT'S NOT REAL CIVILIZATION BECAUSE...."

We get it, you hate non-whites and will discount anything we or our ancestors did out of hand. Good for you.

Can't you just enjoy go your glorious white superiority without constantly shitting on everyone else?

That doesn't make sense. A lack of domesticable animals explains a lack of advance, not a collapse.
