Civilization (depending on how you define it) is no more than 10k years old, which makes it a fairly recent phenomenon that isn’t baked into our DNA. I’m sure anthills have been going strong for at least several million years.

I agree. I think we’re wired for complex social organization and the emergence of civilization is inevitable. Although, I think it’s interesting to imagine that if the world was flat and infinite, perhaps civilization would never emerge; tribes would just keep spreading out.
