How and why would civilization begin?
At the same time, how would humans survive without it?
I can understand kings being thought of as gods. Everyone is dying from starvation and freezing cold temperatures, and there is a man that can gather all the people and provide enough for them to eat, shows them how to build homes and gives them a place to stay and work.
But why would that happen? Humans had to be able to survive on their own at one point if they evolved from something else.
So why would an early human, who is struggling to find food, who can't store it because he doesn't have a refrigerator or a freezer, who is trying to take care of himself and his family want to take on more people that aren't his?
Is it war & assimilation with other tribes? Fear of the surrounding environment and a desire to have safety in numbers?
Why would anyone else that is already established want to take on someone who is weak and afraid? Why would they support them? Why would we evolve sympathy, or empathy, or morals?
If it IS survival of the fittest?
Humans just don't fit into the evolutionary discussion.
Animals fit perfectly. It makes perfect sense with them.
We're not from this place. Nothing about us makes sense.
How do you evolve consciousness?
