Declaration of Human Rights for prehistory

The Declaration of Human Rights document possesses the rights to reproduce, to

develop, and to dominate the land for the prehistoric human. The main goal of humankind from

any period is to bequeath remnants for the next generation. Development emerges from

experiences of the previous generations. Prehistoric human can use the compensation of

developments to conquer and dominate the land. Increase of population will require prehistoric

human to inhabit and create a settlement. They will adapt and emerge with limited technologies.

Dominating land becomes an easy task. Thus, the content of the suppose Declaration of Human

Rights document will focus on prehistoric human’s steps to civilization.

Naturally, the human race reproduces. The prehistoric human understands the advantages

of having a teeming population. Since most prehistoric humans are hunters and gatherers, the

group with most members will prosper. They have more forces for protection and hunting large

animals for food. Immense amount of works will help the group to survive the harsh time. The

older and wiser group instructs the young how to hunt and gather food. For a well populate

group, this process will continue for centuries. From the increase of population, prehistoric

human need settlement to survive and development of necessary tools emerge.

Since population can be a weakness, people begin to settle and develop to keep their

members well fed. They inhabit and cultivate in a location of land available to them. With the

determination to survive, they must feed the people. Prehistoric human begin to become farmer

and herder. They set up villages and domesticate the animals for food and farming. Great Leap

forward is the preferring name for the time when prehistoric human start to show brain

development, language and tools. They can use the advantages provided to them to over power

weaker group. Calories equal creations, development helps prehistoric human in adapting to their

environment and dominating.

With the helps of technology developments, prehistoric human conquer as much land

they wish in order to expand the power. They are sufficient and powerful in comparison to those

without or limited protection equipments. Development advantage helps conquering weaker

groups with ease. No forces can stop them from conquering unless the conquered emerges and

overpowers with their own advancement. Enslavement and impressments are place on the

captured to increase the proficiency of the work for greater power. Additionally, dominant does

not mean to control another group, but it can simply mean to own a piece of land. Innovation of

farming tool allows a group to settle and live in content. From the clashes of conquering, more

technologies arise, and cultures begin to materialize as a step to the next generation.

Prehistoric Declaration of Human Rights will provide the steps to civilization. Their

natural rights help them emerge from the lack of technology. The prehistoric human hold within

themselves two choices. They either become powerful to conquer land for dominance or become

a close settlement of simple life style. The Declaration of Human Rights will protect either

choice. With the current society, many human rights have been ignored. The document should

not exist because the rights written in the content are natural rights. Nevertheless, if the small

prehistoric hunters and gatherers group have earlier access to the Declaration of Human Rights

document, the process of transaction from the prehistoric time will come earlier.
