I have also thought on that question. The word civilized was meant to describe a new race of man that developed land for crops and answered to a central government.
Those who lived in small communities and survived off the land as hunter gatherers were and still are considered primitive.
That includes; Native Americans, Africans, Australian Aboriginals, tribes living in the jungles of South America etc.
The infamous Carl Marx wrote that civilization started when man first came down out of the trees and that the expansion of man into larger communities only promoted the need for what we call civilization today. Another words it was just a natural development.
I am inclined to agree. We are all civilized, it is just some of us choose to live differently.

I think it's quite the contrary.
I think Africans have a stronger and more developed bodies, as well as a deeper understanding of life than any other race.
And I'm not trying to be nice.
The white eastern culture is weak and (therefore) worships power, and has a deep fear of life and death, of which they understand little (of both)
There's very little primitiveness on Africans. The primitive ones are the ones that for centuries have deprived them of their natural culture in order to use and abuse of them.

Well, if you wear a loin cloth, and kill lions with spears, a sophisticated man might characterize you as primitive.
Primitive is a beautiful thing, in my mind. They are certainly aboriginal. The trick here is, we are all primitive.
We are a nascent species constantly awakening to the novel of reality.

I'm sure they're not. As a matter of fact, I believe civilization began at the most part of their region. Even if there are some indigenous people who still cling to their old ways, this is just a matter of preservation of their roots, and that doesn't mean they are less sophisticated than we are.

the warlord mentality that prevails in Africa and the ghettos of the US might suggest so
