Oh hi Bernie, I don't know for sure but I think rules and laws began the first time there were people, don't you think?

What do you think was the reason for the first rule or law and why?
Besides the story of Adam & Eve, I think the first rules came back in caveman days? I think unwritten rules would have been the group's understanding of who did what and that would mean the whole group had a better chance to survive because they all worked together.
