Changes in human nature

Anyone who knows the history of human development also knows his primary primate nature and behavior. In principle, man is considered at the beginning of human history as a solitary animal-like creature who began to unite in groups for safety and to prey on larger animals. Thus began the first beginnings of man in society with its hierarchy, in which physical strength reigned first, and only then his skill and/or cunning.

In the first periods of humanity, man did not deal much with the rules of society or social values and norms. Society was simply a pack in which the strongest ruled. This is how all the rules were set in this primary society. In layman's terms, everything began and ended with physical confrontations. The fight for females and territory and power ended in favor of the strongest.

 The skill of governance and the skill of making primary weapons begins with the skill of working stone and wood and making simple dwellings, and a huge departure from other primates, who still used natural caves and the like for their dwellings. We must also take into account the fact that the human race was still small and had the opportunity to occupy uninhabited territories if the existing socio-primate organization did not suit you and you did not have enough physical strength to change it.

Maybe even today someone misses the primate level of society, especially in the case of greater physical strength. Slowly throughout the history of humanity, with all the ups and downs and disappeared civilizations and nations, physical strength for resolving conflicts and also the fight for control over territory has been replaced by manufactured weapons. Man's skill in making weapons has become a stronger component of human society than physical strength.

 The struggle of man for goods, territory, power and perhaps even females has remained a constant of human nature, despite the developed legal society, which is supposed to regulate relations between individuals and groups in society or even on planet Earth. There are regulated periods of peace in human society, which soon disappear in the primary tendency of man to subjugate others and conquer foreign territories and set his own rules of society on the entire planet Earth or in the name of religion, superiority of race or nation or gender and punish those who do not recognize these rules. 

In short, we could say that human nature has not changed much, but only the means to achieve life goals have changed throughout the history of mankind.
