<<I think you are being very kind to impute foresight, coupled with morality, to those that were powerful >> I wasn't implying foresight any more than the results of any evolutionary change........If you roll the dice often enough you get a winner ..........winners last long enough to pass down their genes BTW although not an expert on anthropology I believe studies of modern day primitives would tend to back me up here......Witch doctors ,medicine men and the like. <<I don't know if cooperation required the aggrandizement of those particular elite folk that were a couple of intellectual steps ahead of their brethren. >> No it didn't but it did require a set of rules supplied by religion.
