WELCOME in The Beginning of Human Civilization
This
is the very beginning of human civilization people are living in small,
hunter-gatherer groups of about two hundred people or so. Because they hadn't
yet discovered the benefit of agriculture, finding sources of food consumed all
of their time. They have to continuously be on the move, chasing migrating
animals, staying ahead of changing weather patterns, and staying out of the way
of predators, so their numbers are relatively small.
In each group, there are a
few "alpha men." These are the strongest, the best hunters, and the
best fighters. These few men receive an overly large percentage of the
resources, and father most of the children. As they grow older, they’ll
naturally be replaced by younger males. This type of behavior can be seen even
after the 21st century, in tribes such as the Yanomamo in the Rainforests
of Brazil.

Coming BACK IN 21st CENTURY
Many geneticists believe that a large proportion of humans
today are descended from only a small percentage of our ancestors, which
supports this widely held belief.
So what happened when agriculture was invented?
Any Guess???
OK Here It Is…
Man could afford to stay in one place, as
food became a dependable and renewable resource. Societies naturally grew
larger and larger, as crops became larger and larger. This presented a problem.
The old social model didn't seem to work anymore, simply because there were too
many "alpha" men fighting over resources. This caused a lot of
problems in this new type of larger society.
Damm Yeahhh!!!
So what was the solution?
Yes, a Religion was a relatively new set of beliefs, that
most anthropologists believe came into being right around the same time as
large societies. Religion teaches rules that make a large society more stable.
No stealing, only one woman per man, no lying. Don't covet your neighbor's
wife. Religion also came up with an ingenious way of enforcing these rules
on the general population: There is an all-knowing, all-seeing God that will
bring punishment on you if you violate these rules.
Oh Yeah! And this is how we’ve found THE RELIGION.
OK! Maybe not as smart as now but more like a root of the
world’s religions we have these days.
The more we develop intelligence the more thought process toward
religions parallel to our evolution.
A set of rules – Religion
was purely a human invention concentrating purely on the fear of a supreme
power over every human and nature around us so that we could start being right
instead of killing others for food as all nature-free things should be equally divided
without bloodshed.
It is a perfectly designed system that allowed these large,
primitive societies to grow into the great civilizations of our common human
past. None of the magnificent accomplishments would have been possible had it
not been for the creation of religion. What is even more impressive is that
this new system of rules likely arose organically, on its own, without any
overt social engineering, as people are sometimes led to believe. It's as if
the collective mind of mankind has a self-generating ideal resource to keep it
growing, prospering, and improving.
Soon religions start taking a more structured and strict
picture with continuous evolutions and complications. Later with more religions, we had more religious leaders who started ruling over and over again with a thought
to prove their own religion better than the other religions hence the older religious
people were considered poor backward, and away from the real truth of the better
religion. They were offered a brand new package of full-proof religion with the precise success of mankind so the religion became like a machine developed with
new enhanced technology.
Surprisingly we could not end up with a billion religions
because of our development of intelligence which led us to the fight. A fight
for a better religion amongst us changed our habit of inventing a new religion
to protect our own religion while saving our own lives strongly linked to
the religion we were born with.
