What’s the definition of civilization here? There are different definitions of civilization. (Which may, or may not relate to the etymology of the word, in case there are any who believe in the etymological fallacy that the first meaning is the “real” meaning.) If you have tamales you’re civilized and if you don’t you’re not?
