When homo-Sapiens were created, they had certain updates that Neanderthal didn't have, such as the capability of speech which led to language, and this led to singing and dancing. They lived in family groups that became tribes with leaders, and this came about easily with well-developed male and female hormones, probably more accentuated than today's people have. This caused them to have more developed minds than their Neanderthal predecessors, in the ability to imagine and have wants and desires; to be able to tell lies. (Down Syndrome people do not lie-it's not in their nature). From tribes they lived in clans and finally became countries and kingdoms and then empires. They developed into different kinds of civilizations with their own standards of living.
Mankind had became very aggressive. Those hormones led them into behaviors untouched by a conscience that was also developing slowly with some, more advanced with others. If they wanted something, they'd take it away from others who had it. This led to taking slaves, and a workforce of slaves were developed along with those who had and those who didn't. Even today, we have people who do not see their actions as wrong that others can see easily).
We had the Greek and Roman civilization running into the Israelite-Assyrian-Babylonian-Persian civilizations. These civilizations were created from their religions that were also developing along with their bodies and minds. Religions came about with the realization that something existed beyond their scope of understanding that had something to do with them and what happened to them.
Slavery was an accepted practice in ancient Greece, as in other societies of the time. ... Athens had the largest slave population, with as many as 80,000 in the 5th and 6th centuries BC, with an average of three or four slaves per household, except in poor families.
Under Roman law, enslaved people had no personal rights and were regarded as the property of their masters. They could be bought, sold, and mistreated at will and were unable to own property, enter into a contract, or legally marry. Most of what we know today comes from texts written by masters.
Ancient Israelite society allowed slavery; however, total domination of one human being by another was not permitted. Rather, slavery in antiquity among the Israelites was closer to what would later be called indentured servitude. Slaves were seen as an essential part of a Hebrew household. They were treated as family members, especially on Shabbat.
Women were important as the source of new life, being able to produce a child every 2 years. Men were full of masculine hormones, the protector of this woman and the dominant chief over her as well. Every man was a chief or king in his own house. Though mankind started off in pairs, the need for more people developed along with impulses and needs and attractions, which caused man at different periods to have more than one wife in his household.
Judaism came about with Abraham and what happened to him with his connection to the unseen G-d and how it affected him as chief and in teaching his tribe values to follow in life. This was copied by Muhammad in the 7th century CE where Jews had moved to Arabia to live and he came in contact with them and copied many of the features of their "Book" that they told of and he had heard some of the stories from it. Jews were then remembered by him as 'People of the Book".
What he many not have known was that Moses, the writer of the first 5 parts of that book, may have even heard of the rules set down by Hammurabi earlier. The Hammurabi code of laws, a collection of 282 rules, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C.
Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia, today's Iraq.
Hammurabi (c. 1810 – c. 1750 BC) was the sixth king of the First Babylonian dynasty of the Amorite tribe, reigning from c. 1792 BC to c. 1750 BC (according to the Middle Chronology).
Hammurabi's Code was carved onto a massive, finger-shaped black stone stele (pillar) that was looted by invaders and finally rediscovered in 1901 which is how we know about it today. It is written in the Old Babylonian dialect of Akkadian, purportedly by Hammurabi, sixth king of the First Dynasty of Babylon. The primary copy of the text is inscribed on a basalt or diorite stele 2.25 m (7 ft 4 1⁄2 in) tall.
Moses was born much later in 1391 B.C.E. according to our Jewish time table which does differed a bit from others. He wrote the 1st 5 books of the Bible (Torah) while on the 40 year Exodus from Egypt, a Prince of Egypt and son of Amram and Jochebed, of the Hebrew tribe of Levites, who was the only one who could read and write of the 601,730 who were still living when they arrived in Canaan.
Moses's brother was Aaron and sister was Mirium. Moses lived to be 120 years old.
The Talmud notes that the Hebrew numerical value (gematria) of the word Torah is 611, and combining Moses's 611 commandments with the first two of the Ten Commandments which were the only ones heard directly from God, adds up to 613. The Talmud developed in two major centers of Jewish scholarship: Babylonia and Palestine. The Jerusalem or Palestinian Talmud was completed c. 350 CE, and the Babylonian Talmud (the more complete and authoritative) was written down c. 500,CE but was further edited for another two centuries.
When Genghis Khan ( c. 1158–1162 – August 18, 1227), born Temüjin, was the founder and first Great Khan (Emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest he and his men left many women pregnant as they went through the lands.
Since a 2003 study found evidence that Genghis Khan's DNA is present in about 16 million men alive today, the Mongolian ruler's genetic prowess has stood as an unparalleled accomplishment. The Mongol Empire of the 13th and 14th centuries was the largest contiguous land empire in history. Originating in Mongolia in East Asia, the Mongol Empire at its height stretched from the Sea of Japan to parts of Eastern Europe, extending northward into parts of the Arctic; eastward and southward into the Indian subcontinent, Mainland Southeast Asia and the Iranian Plateau; and westward as far as the Levant and the Carpathian Mountains.
The men who fathered many children by many women, called founders, lived between 2100 BC and 300 BC existed in both sedentary agricultural societies and nomadic cultures in the Middle East, India, southeast Asia and central Asia. Their dates coincide with the emergence of hierarchical, authoritarian societies in Asia during the Bronze Age, such as the Babylonians. 3 lineages dating to more recent times were all linked to nomadic groups in northeast China and Mongolia. These included the lineages linked to Genghis Khan and Giocangga, plus a third line dating to around AD 850 CE
To identify those lineages, the geneticists analyzed “the Y chromosomes of more 5,000 men from 127 populations spanning Asia,” Nature News reports. They found 11 Y-chromosome sequences shared by more than 20 of the analyzed subjects. Chalk down one of those as Genghis Khan's, and that leaves 10 other men who founded a long-lived and widely spread family tree..
So who were these other super-fertile fathers? One sequence is attributed to a 16th century Qinq Dynasty ruler named Giocangga, whose Y-chromosome was linked in an earlier study to 1.5 million men in modern northern China. The other nine men are currently mysteries. Yet, by assuming that these men lived in the area where their genome was most commonly found and by studying mutations in the genetic sequences, scientists know that they “originated throughout Asia, from the Middle East to southeast Asia, dating to between 2100 BC and AD 700,” writes Nature News.
Mormon founder, Joseph Smith, had 40 wives. Today, polygamy is outlawed in the USA.
"About 3.5 million of today’s Ashkenazi Jews — 40 percent of the total Ashkenazi population — are descended from just four women, a genetic study indicates. Ashkenazim are one of two major ancestral groups of Jewish individuals, comprised of those whose ancestors lived in Central and Eastern Europe (e.g., Germany, Poland, Russia).Ashkenazi Jews are a Jewish diaspora population who coalesced in the Holy Roman Empire around the end of the first millennium.
Those women apparently lived somewhere in Europe within the last 2,000 years, but not necessarily in the same place or even the same century, said lead author Dr. Doron Behar of the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Israel.
He did the work with Karl Skorecki of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and others.
Each woman left a genetic signature that shows up in their descendants today, he and colleagues say in a report published online by the American Journal of Human Genetics. Together, their four signatures appear in about 40 percent of Ashkenazi Jews, while being virtually absent in non-Jews and found only rarely in Jews of non-Ashkenazi origin, the researchers said.
They said the total Ashkenazi population is estimated at around 8 million people. The estimated world Jewish population is about 13 million."
