Changes

70:3.1 In the most [[primitive]] [[society]] the horde is [[everything]]; even [[children]] are its common [[property]]. The evolving [[family]] displaced the horde in child rearing, while the emerging [[clans]] and [[tribes]] took its place as the [[social]] [[unit]].

70:3.2 [[Sex]] [[hunger]] and [[mother]] [[love]] [[establish]] the [[family]]. But real [[government]] does not appear until superfamily [[groups]] have begun to [[form]]. In the prefamily days of the horde, [[leadership]] was provided by informally chosen [[individuals]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmen African Bushmen] have never [[progressed]] beyond this [[primitive]] [[stage]]; they do not have chiefs in the horde.

70:3.3 [[Families]] became [[united]] by blood ties in [[clans]], [[aggregations]] of kinsmen; and these subsequently evolved into [[tribes]], territorial [[communities]]. Warfare and external [[pressure]] forced the [[tribal]] [[organization]] upon the kinship [[clans]], but it was [[commerce]] and trade that held these early and [[primitive]] [[groups]] [[together]] with some [[degree]] of internal [[peace]].

70:3.6 In the early ages each [[tribe]] was surrounded by [[concentric]] [[circles]] of increasing [[fear]] and [[suspicion]]; hence it was once the [[custom]] to kill all strangers, later on, to enslave them. The old [[idea]] of [[friendship]] meant [[adoption]] into the [[clan]]; and clan membership was believed to [[survive]] [[death]]—one of the earliest [[concepts]] of [[eternal]] life.

70:3.7 The [[ceremony]] of [[adoption]] consisted in drinking each other's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood blood]. In some [[groups]] saliva was exchanged in the place of blood drinking, this being the ancient [[origin]] of the [[practice]] of [[social]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing kissing]. And all [[ceremonies]] of [[association]], whether [[marriage]] or [[adoption]], were always terminated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feasts feasting].

70:3.8 In later times, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood blood] diluted with red wine was used, and [[eventually]] wine alone was drunk to seal the [[adoption]] [[ceremony]], which was signified in the [[touching]] of the wine cups and consummated by the swallowing of the beverage. The [[Hebrews]] employed a [[modified]] form of this [[adoption]] [[ceremony]]. Their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab Arab] [[ancestors]] made use of the [[oath]] taken while the hand of the [[candidate]] rested upon the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus generative organ] of the [[tribal]] [[native]]. The [[Hebrews]] treated adopted aliens kindly and fraternally. "The stranger that dwells with you shall be as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Leviticus#Chapter_.19]

70:3.9 " Guest [[friendship]] " was a [[relation]] of temporary [[hospitality]]. When visiting guests departed, a dish would be broken in half, one piece being given the departing [[friend]] so that it would serve as a suitable introduction for a third party who might arrive on a later visit. It was customary for guests to pay their way by telling [[Narrative|tales]] of their [[travels]] and [[adventures]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storytelling storytellers] of olden times became so popular that the [[mores]] eventually forbade their [[functioning]] during either the [[hunting]] or [[harvest]] [[seasons]].

70:3.10 The first [[treaties]] of [[peace]] were the "blood bonds." The [[peace]] [[ambassadors]] of two warring tribes would meet, pay their respects, and then proceed to prick the skin until it bled; whereupon they would suck each other's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood blood] and declare [[peace]].

70:3.11 The earliest [[peace]] missions consisted of [[delegations]] of men bringing their choice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgins maidens] for the [[sex]] [[gratification]] of their onetime enemies, the sex appetite being utilized in combating the [[war]] urge. The [[tribe]] so honored would pay a return visit, with its offering of maidens; whereupon [[peace]] would be firmly [[established]]. And soon intermarriages between the [[families]] of the chiefs were [[sanction]]ed.
