Early human civilizations used dance rituals to strengthen social bonds and communicate with gods. Dance allowed for self-expression and spiritual connection. Dancing traditions continue today. Additionally, early civilizations emphasized religion to form moral codes and social hierarchies. For example, the Vedic people justified a caste system using religious authority. Both early and modern societies also seek to establish order through legal systems like the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, showing a universal human drive for structure and justice.
