6. Humans really have no predators but themselves

Sat Apr 25, 2026, 02:06 PM

Saturday

So in order to survive in a "group" setting (with "safety in numbers" ), some type of "moral" code of behavior began to evolve through the designation of some "higher authority". That could be a "God" or "Goddess" (or many of them) and/or some group of "elders", who would take on that role.

The monarchs and priests evolved to be "stand-ins", by having some purported "direct connection" with or serving as a conduit to that authority.
