Urbanization is one qualifier but not the only one. Plus even today we could have such chaos in a town where laws are absent and justice is that dispensed by the strongman/woman warlord and that would hardly be considered civilization.
Uncivilized does not mean stupid or brutes.

- bryanlarsen 2mo agoBoudica comes to mind, I'm sure there are other notables.
- NuclearPM 2mo agoWhy would either upset feminists? Have you ever talked to a feminist?
