civilization's
Humanity's organized achievements'
Civilization's is the possessive form of civilization—a society with developed culture, government, and technology.
It typically modifies abstractions like achievements, collapse, or future: civilization's greatest accomplishments, the dawn of civilization's end.
The form can also be a contraction of "civilization is," though this is less common: Civilization's what separates us from animals.
