Culture is a derivative or reflection of civilization. It concerns not only a specific society within a specific civilization, but goes beyond it, directly affecting neighboring societies. Culture is a more global definition.

In anthropology, all human societies have culture. For modern people, culture is simply all of our behaviors, seen through a lens of our sociality. One useful definition is that culture represents our "extrasomatic adaptations". There are debates about the ways these behavioral patterns evolved. Hominins almost certainly had something resembling cultural systems, at least from 40k years ago or possibly older. Some biologists attributes something like culture to certain highly intelligent and social animals. "Civilization" is a term that is generally applied to state-level societies. While in common parlance many folks think of traditional societies as less or un-civilized, this is a false distinction. The term simply refers to large urban systems with a number of complex forms of interaction among members that is distinct from smaller scale human societies.

Culture is a multifaceted concept encompassing the collective practices, beliefs, values, and artifacts that define a community. It reflects the social fabric of life, where traditional and historical patterns are maintained to preserve significance and identity.

In contrast, civilization refers to the broader structures and systems that enable societal advancement, including governance, economic systems, and technological innovations. Civilization typically precedes culture, as the establishment of an ecosystem and role assignments are essential for survival. Subsequently, cultural elements may be integrated into civilization, enhancing societal functioning.

In essence, while culture and civilization are interrelated, they represent distinct dimensions of human experience, with civilization providing the framework for cultural practices to thrive.

I would take exception that "civilization" is "advancement". All arguments that human biological and behavioral changes are "progress" are tautological, qualitatively assumptions, and indefensible. Natural selection has helped shape our behaviors not through "improvement, but simple change through time. Evolution is not directional, it is organically messy.
