Also, the Incas, Mayas and Aztecs.

It could be a factor everywhere else I mentioned, though. This is a logical fallacy.

Abrahamic Religions arrived perhaps too recently. The records we have of ancient civilizations show that they successfully dominated their environments already, and certainly accomplished amazing things.

Which fallacy? I don't understand.

Person A got cancer from smoking, but person B got cancer from exposure to chemicals so smoking likely doesn't cause cancer. Its the same argument.

I think I meant it more in the sense of "smoking causes cancer and so does exposure to chemicals so it's not the smoking or the chemicals that we need to look at but something they both have in common."

I may not have made that clear enough, however.
