Civilization was kind of an accident, I mean from an evolutionary standpoint there is no point in becoming civilized. It actually brought us more harm than good.

Early tribal societies weren't technically civilizations, and they only existed for the past 20,000 years or so.

Because all the evidence we have doesn't go back mroe than 5500 years, there were somo proto civilizations before that, as far back as 1000-9000 years ago (Jericho and Catal Huyuk) and 8000-7000 yearso ago (Cucuteni)

What about Solon

Will we ever find proof of Abraham and Moses

What evidence do we need?

What do you mean? Egyptian records tell extensively about Hyper Era when Ancient Finns battled Hwan Empire.

To create a civilization, you need division of labor. There wasn't enough manpower to allocate individuals to roles outside of producing food until after the development of agriculture, which was only really developed out of the necessity of using land as a food source more efficiently to prevent tribes from being circumscribed and out competed.

Basically, climactic and technological conditions needed to converge to make the human population increase to a point where Hunter gathering stopped being sustainable so that agriculture and eventually civilization would have to develop, which took a really really long time.

The fuck ? You know we're 7 billions right ? And now we've got guns and shit to protect ourselves from other species.
So it was useful.

Well, people tend to do that, as seen on 4chan

I think he'd be right when describing earliest civilization, less after it had become more developed.

There wasn't much that made earliest agriculture better than hunting and gathering. You were liable to just get robbed and have your food stolen, you were far more vulnerable to scarcity (if your one crop failed you were fucked), the variety of your food was reduced compared to hunter gatherers, it took more of your day to farm effectively than to hunt effectively, etc. It was a bit of a raw deal to become a farmer.
