It opens up a whole new exciting realm of possibilities, like proto civilizations around the world and, perhaps even earlier civilizations that were wiped out thousands of years before the current spark of civilization became. I guess it's just natural for humans to gather, congregate and build. Like beavers, but with a greater brain capacity.
