Civilization changes human nature. The same way our civilization produces dogs, caws, sheep, etc. it also changed us into a less aggressive, more cooperative being with way way way higher self control.
EDIT: I can give you countless examples. Compare the human reactions in developing countries with those of say a London native. You'll see that just a few centuries of life in big cities have given Englishmen incredible manners and self control.

- calebmpeterson 15y agoA good point. The question then is "does civilization change human nature itself or just the contract between members of said society?" Extreme circumstances seem to break the social contract of a civilization and reveal that human nature didn't change much if at all.
