"If humans hadn’t controlled fire and hunted, we likely would have remained foragers and never made it to domesticators."

It's completely untrue. The domestication of dogs is assumed to have appeared very early among the troglodytes who did not control fire.

This whole insistence on hunting being like the roots of civilization is also ridiculous. Plenty of non-human animals are hunting as well... so are they, too, "civilizing"? Def not, as far as I know.

You need more than that in order to have a civilization. You need particular organized modes of reproduction of living conditions, i.e. a social organization of sorts. In such, Ria's definition rings true. But Layla's views keep making me doubtful.
