Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established an extremely wide variety of values,^[13] social norms, and rituals, which together undergird human society. Curiosity and the human desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated humanity’s development of science, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of knowledge.

Though most of human existence has been sustained by hunting and gathering in band societies,^[14] many human societies transitioned to sedentary agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago,^[15] domesticating plants and animals, thus enabling the growth of civilization. However, These human societies subsequently expanded, establishing various forms of government. The beliefs  and culture around the world, and unifying people within regions. Form states and empires.
