Question
- did early humans have laws? if so, please explain. if not, explain why.
Early humans (e.g., in hunter - gatherer or early agrarian societies) had informal “laws” or social norms. These were unwritten rules governing behavior, like sharing food, respecting elders, or rules for group defense. They were necessary for group survival, cooperation, and social order. Formal legal systems (with codified laws, courts, etc.) developed later, but basic behavioral guidelines (precursors to laws) existed to maintain social cohesion.
