Dawning!
Craving
companionship in a human effort to assuage feelings of loneliness and of
depression, early man learned quickly to share his limited domain with
like-minded creatures to the distinct advantage of all concerned. Tribes
formed, leaders evolved; the “commune” was born as pre-historic life edged
toward somewhat “civilized” custom, cordial to a varied extent; even, easier. Language developed.
Hunting
parties managed to gather large portions of food, found ways to preserve the
sustenance, shared the bounty with kin and neighbor, alike. Agriculture took
root; thrived. Trade developed, grew and flourished. Such abundance allowed for
expansion of the human species fostering society leading to culture. Though
primitive, life, as they knew it, was considered good!
Mastodons,
a precursor to the modern elephant, had managed to evolve and thrive becoming a
huge population which provided sustenance for the human element. Twenty-five
thousand years after our cave man kin had come on the scene, some two and a
half millennia of evolution through anthropological gray matter determinations,
man became so adept at self-sufficiency and collective adaptation of harmonious
efforts for the good of all that he nearly hunted his food supply to
extinction. Thus evolved animal domestication husbandry and efficient
agriculture.
Collectives
evolved growing into cities, then nations and finally, sovereign countries.
Though
the process drew out long and arduous, intellectual curiosity eventually came
to the forefront with unique perspectives, unlimited parameters, mathematics
and logic leading to a longer life span, advances in medicine for better
health along with education of the masses. “Good”
for all.
