Joe I must admit while I was trying to come up with the barebone basic acceptance criteria for what constitutes a civilization, the culture paradigm was thrashed internally back and forth.
But no matter how I looked at it, or where I looked, I was force to concede that culture is an amalgamation of exactly the same criteria - namely blood, faith, and soil.
And that culture itself is largely moulded by the existing dominant faith of the land and people.
Would love to hear more on this. And evolve the criteria further if need be. Should they prove to be robust enough to pass muster across historical shifts.
Unfortunately, due to my bereavement, and the consequent state of affairs in the family, I am unable to contribute usefully. Even an occasional look-in has become a difficult feat. I can only watch intermittently from the sidelines.
