Both civilization and culture are fairly modern words ， having come into prominent use during the 19th century by anthropologists （人類學(xué)家）， historians ， and literary figures ． There has been a strong tendency to use them interchangeably as though they mean the same thing ， but they are not the same ．

Thus civilization ， in its most essential meaning ， is the ability of people to live together harmoniously in cities ， in social groupings

The word culture is derived from the Latin verb colere ， till the soil ． But colere also has a wider range of meanings ． It may ， like civis ， mean inhabiting a town or village ． But most of its definitions suggest a process of starting and promoting growth and development ． One may cultivate a garden;

One of the basic and best-know features of civi1ization and culture is the presence of tools ． But more important than their simple existence is that the tools are always being improved and enlarged upon ， a result of creativity ． It took thousands of years to get from the first whee1 to the 1atest ， most advanced model of automobile ．
It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and improvers that differentiates them from other animals ． A monkey may use a stick to knock a banana from a tree ， but that stick will never ， through a monkey's cleverness ， be modified into a hook or a ladder ．
