Civilization is a display of social behavior. Many animals show different aspects of social behavior (as mentioned by a number of posters above).

Interesting definition and observation. If we define civilzation as gathering and ordering of parts to achieve stability of whole, then civilization is definately natural. It can be traced to simple cells, and it can be traced to gasses (Na+ Cl- (gases) -> NaCl (crystalyne solid)). This suggests it is natural.
