Would a civilization in isolation last longer than one that did a lot of trading?

Isolation vs. open trading with other people....





which one would allow a civilization be more successful and LONGER lasting?Would a civilization in isolation last longer than one that did a lot of trading?
a civilization would last much longer in isolation. for example, some global consequences from the neolithic agriculture revolution (7,000-3,000 bc) included an increase in world population which lead to increase in interaction which leads to more trading and conflict. so the more you interact with other civilizations that are different than your own the greater likely hood for conflict
