Three Basic Human Rights
In prehistory everyone should have the right to be free in thought and deed, right to travel, and right to reproduce. If there was a United Nations looking out for all the countries, territories, and cultures in the world, I feel those rights would be given with no hesitation. With freedom in thoughts and deed comes advancements in technology and quality of life. The right to travel gives islanders the possibility to explore other continents and experience other climates that might enhance their development. Humans should always have a right to reproduce, wherever they are in the timeline. With growth in population you have a better chance of having a mind able to help your community and culture expand and flourish.
Cultures that were present on this Earth 13,000 years ago consisted of both tribal populations that got its subsistence from hunting and gathering while others obtained it from agriculture. There was usually a chief present that would speak for the people and decide what was best for the tribe. In large populate agricultural communities the chief had more power and less manual work that he had to put forth. He decided what was best for all the people, and usually was living separate from them. With a strong government like that the peoples ideas rarely got out, limiting them to more work than helping the community prosper. In smaller communities that used the techniques like hunting the chief was usually more among the people. These types of societies were highly democratic. Everyone helped out with the food and shelter; everyone had a role to fulfill. If a member of the society wasn’t self reliant then they’d be at a loss in a hunter gather. The tribes back then weren’t about conquering or having power, just survival. In cultures that had a surplus you can see the distinction of social classes leads to a tyranny or monarch-like form of control. If you restrict a person’s right to think freely, usually nothing gets done. Worker bees don’t have time to develop new technological advances, or in their case crude stone tools. Humans should always have the right to free think and develop their own ideas, because you never know what might help you later in time. Look at the Europeans, with plentiful amount of time their people could use their resources and start a new way of life.

Location is one of the most important factors in evolution. When you look at the Maori and the Moriori, who won? The Moriori had an agricultural society that had a surplus of goods and people, they had a strong government and were in a nice climate, so they got a lot done. The Maori were in a colder climate that couldn’t nourish any crops, they had to revert back to a hunter/gather lifestyle which pushed their focus not on expansion and development but just survival. The Moriori should have the right to free travel, but their extreme on the matter was quite deadly. The Maori, being a simple people with no real weapons and only crude tools, could never be thought of as a fair match to the advance weaponry the Moriori possessed. If there was a United Nations back then it would frown upon the brutal conquering the Moriori did. The right to free travel allows one to have better resources to survive, and that leads to a greater advantage later in the evolution trail, but that doesn’t give them the right to impose on another nation in progress and disrupt their nature order. One day along the line the Maori could develop a sort of boat like vessel to pass through unknown waters. Though stopping the Moriori from conquering the Maori might impose on the nature of Social Darwinism. In the end, the right to travel should come highly certified by this United Nations of pre history. It not only ensures the right to populate the whole Earth, but it allows us to use different locations and diverse cultures that would later make living here a very pleasurable, unique place.
It’s our natural born right to reproduce. Every species does it, so there should be no reason anyone should restrict it. Besides the thought of over population on a tiny island you can’t seem to find a way off of. But those humans living in prehistory should never think to limit a family’s ties, or stop their genetic track abruptly. The whole reason we reproduce is to keep our species alive. We have this incurable instinct to want to grow and expand and develop, and we have obviously given in to it over the centuries. Without reproduction, we couldn’t develop philosophical ideas or develop further ways of thinking than just black and white ideals. With all these new people, and the right to reproduce we can further expand out knowledge of ourself and the world.

In a perfect world, the United Nations of pre history past should have instilled three values given to all peoples; the freedom of thought and deed, freedom of travel, and the right to reproduce. Without these three things, development would never exist, and little advancements would ever be made towards human kind. We wouldn’t be able to inhabit the whole earth and use resources to further our expansion and growth. We also wouldn’t be able to become philosophical in our ideas and further develop our way of thinking. With the more people we create, more ideas come into play in our world and we expand mentally and physical, which in the end, for some reason, is out ultimate goal.
