As a follow up from the One True Science Text: Science Made Stupid by Tom Weller (slight modification to bring up to date):

The Noble Savage vs. Civilized Man Primitive man lived an idyllic existence, in harmony with nature and his fellows. The advance of civilization exacted a price: as the old ways were replaced by the new, tribal man forgot his ancient natural wisdom.
Among the tribal traditions often displaced by the encroachment of modern society were: slavery subjugation of women fishing by poisoning rivers human sacrifice continuous intertribal warfare hunting by driving herds off cliffs ritual mutilation xenophobia abandonment of the old & dying abandonment of the young cannibalism	Despite these losses, civilization brought many benefits. Among them were: slavery subjugation of women air, water & soil polution organized crime continuous international warfare organized religion fast food traffic street mimes public schools karaoke
