The actual feeling of trust

Mankind has been on this round sphere we call “Earth” for nearly 200 000 years. While Terra is about 4.5 million years old, we’ve only been in this place for 0,004% of its’ crystalizing history.
Let’s take a moment and imagine how would have been if we, humanoids, were living back in the day where the climate change happened, or the meteorite hit our Planet hard enough to provoke the extinction of dinosaurs.
Well I’m one of few people that believe we’ve been given a certain period just to have time to prove something. So, if 200 000 B.C. is known as the first period in which a human had been seen, and if Earth had this humongous amount of time to “heal” and “re-arrange” its’ specific things, then we should have at least a tenth of 200 000 years to make the best out of our lives. So when we reached the year 0, the countdown started and we had 20 000 years to get the best of this world.
You might not trust my theory, but this is simply me being inventive and creative at the same time, believing that God had its’ own point of view when it came to its’ own creation: Humans.
For what’s worth, humans had many problems trusting each other starting back when religion and own beliefs started spreading. The feeling of trust diminished when the first ever war begun. Now you might be wondering “when was this first ever war?”. Well let me start by describing what a war actually is and what it contains:

1) It is a conflict carried on by the force of arms, normally between two nations or between parties within a nation.
2) A war should have a purpose, a defined scope. It should have a beginning, an end and shouldn’t be an ongoing state of hostility between people.
3) It should have the force of a military.
4) The Government is usually controlling what the war’s purpose is and will be.

Now that we clarified these things, I assume that you are ready to listen to what I have to say about the first ever war. The earliest quite-detailed conflict I could find was Sargon's conquest of Sumer at the Battle of Ur in c. 2271 BC, which led to the establishment of the Akkadian Empire.
Year 2271 BC is like almost 4500 years ago. Just imagine the technology back then… Amazing right?
Now let’s not go that deep into history because this is not the reason you came here. What did they fight for back then? The establishment of the Akkadian empire. But what was the role? Technically, how that war started and… how did they decide there was going to be a thing called “Establishment”.
You see, in life there will always be humans that lead, and humans that are led by others. The thing is that these leaders of humans, must know when and how to integrate others in their circle so they can feel safe. By not being able to offer this “safety” principle, others will start feeling like they need protection, so they started forming little groups in which they felt safe. The first ever two groups that had a conflict, were the first ones to ever bring food from wilderness, and having to share it afterwards.

The role of the leader was to eat last back then… But of course, he refused. He got himself the first chunk of food, and then the others felt that their “safety” was draining, so they had to fight for it.
