Human civilization. Not the mere passage of time. Assault rifles were not integral to the development of human civilization. That is a fact. Rapid-fire guns were fire developed in the late-19th century, while guns in general only came into military use in the 15th century. Dog skeletons have been found with the earliest sedentary human societies. We would never have been able to cultivate agriculture and live stock without dogs. Therefore there would have been no human civilization without them.
FYI, most pits weigh less than 60 and closer to about, I would guess, 45 lbs.
One of the ferocious large beasts that strike you with such terror is depicted here.
