The Urantia Book  Paper 70 The E-olution of Human G-vernment (783.1)
70:0.1
NO SOONER had man partially solved the problem of making a living than he
was confronted with the task of regulating human contacts.'
Paper 70 - The Ev-lution of Human Go-ernment"

The development of industry demanded law, order, and social adjustment;
private property necessitated gov-rnment.

70:0.2
On an evolutio-ary world, antagonisms are natural; peace is secured only by
some sort of social regulative system. Social regulation is inseparable from
social organization; association implies some controlling authority.
Governme-t compels the co-ordination of the antagonisms of the tribes,
clans, families, and individuals.

ppg (783.3) 70:0.3

Gove-nment is an unconscious development; it ev-lves by trial and error.
It does have survival value; therefore it becomes traditional. Anarchy
augmented misery; therefore gover-ment, comparative law and order,
slowly emerged or is emerging.
The coercive demands of the struggle for existence literally drove the
human r-ce along the progressive road to civilization.

1. The Genesis of W-r.
Wa- is the natural state and heritage of evo-ving man; peace is the social
yardstick measuring civilization's advancement. Before the partial
socialization of the advancing ra-es man was exceedingly individualistic,
extremely suspicious, and unbelievably quarrelsome. Violence is the law
of nature, hostility the automatic reaction of the children of nature, while
-ar is but these same activities carried on collectively. And wherever
and whenever the fabric of civilization becomes stressed by the
complications of society's advancement, there is always an immediate
and ruinous reversion to these early methods of violent adjustment of the
irritations of human interassociations.
