CIVILIZATIONAL DIFFERENCES AREN’T ARBITRARY
Civilizations originated and expanded to reflect the geography, climate, resources, and race, distribution, technology, of the population. And when each civilization formed it was ‘frozen’ by the order they developed their institutions. So it’s very hard to change large numbers of people with multiple generations that have been raised with the same metaphysics, myths, traditions, institutions and such.
So when you ask “why didn’t X civilization do Y” or some variation, it’s really caused by ancient reasons that are lost to memory, and almost impossible to change without really horrific harm to people. The result is some civilizations evolve and adapt more easily than others.
