As human beings lived amongst each other, it eventually became apparent that human beings' way of life is not much different than that of an animal, human beings need sustenance to survive just as animals do, they also cannot do everything themselves just like how animals in a herd co-ordinate in cooperative hunting. When humans adopted that idea early signs of a society started showing. Groups of people living together allowed for increased safety as well as more people bringing back game from hunting.
For these groups to function, it was natural that a leader was appointed because that would ensure order, and order means continuation of the society. As well as a leader, a set of rules had to come to exist in order to specify how things are run and what members of society can and cannot do. These rules, in their primitive form, can also be described as morals.
Morals can be simply defined as the standards of behaviour that dictate what is right and what is wrong.
