I think it was Lewis Henry Morgan who first formalised the three stages of savagery, barbarism and civilisation. The terms weren't intended to be an insult, he classified societies according to the level of technology, savages had to be able to control fire and make pottery, barbarism was reserved for agricultural societies and civilisations had to have writing.
