31. I said "civilization"

I said "civilization" not "humans". Civilization usually refers to sedentarization or establishment of permanent habitations, cities or city-states by your anthropologists. This is the point at which widespread cooperation must begin to be learnt.

We observed sedentarization occurring approximately 12 to 14 centuries ago on Earth.


I am a little confused. You first said human civilization began 12,000 to 14,000 years ago on Earth. Then that sedentarization began 12 to 14 centuries ago. 12 to 14 centuries seems closer to 1,200 to 1,400 years.

Or did you mean millennia rather than centuries?
