I DID NOT SAY THAT.
It's not necessarily "where civilization sprang from" it's a shift in thinking about the sequence of evolution and it disassociates spirituality, even in more advanced forms with rituals that span cultural gaps, with the advent of modern civilized life. This has implications that reach pretty far into the reasons behind the origins of monotheism and even into racism.
but all you can do is stand back and say, "Those scientists just think they're so smart."
